I’m trying to make a lock to target system. I need to know how to detect the nearest enemy. All enemies are in a folder in workspace. I have a key that you press to enable the target lock, and i know how to move the camera.
Help would be appriciated!

To detect which is the nearest enemy you need to get the children.
You also need to use Magnitude here how to do it.

local self = script.Parent
local Away = 30
while wait() do
	for _,v in  ipairs(workspace.Enemy:GetChildren()) do
		local enm = v
		local Ro = (self.CFrame.p - enm.PrimaryPart.CFrame.p).Magnitude
		if Ro <= Away then
			-- Script
			print(enm.Name)
			break
		else
			-- If not found
		end
	end
end

You can change CFrame.p to position and they both will get you what you wanted.
