how to fix this positon error??

Position is not a valid member of Model “Workspace.GrassLand.Mob.NormalZombie”

for i, target in pairs(mobs:GetChildren())  do
		local distance = (target.Position - tower.PrimaryPart.Position  ).Magnitude
		print(target.Name, distance)
		if distance < maxdistance then
			print(target.Name, "is the nearest target found so far")
			nearesttarget = target
			maxdistance = distance
		end
	end

HumanoidRootPart is not a valid member of Workspace "Workspace"

Is NormalZombie a model? Reference target.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position or target.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position if it doesn’t have a PrimaryPart set.

Right-- so you’re iterating a folder of models. Models do not have a Position property. You’d need to reference something within “target” being the PrimaryPart or HumanoidRootPart like I noted above.

#5

how about this?

HumanoidRootPart is not a valid member of Workspace "Workspace"

local tower = script.Parent.Parent
local mobs = game.Workspace.GrassLand.Mob

	for i, target in ipairs(mobs:GetChildren()) do
		local distance = (target.HumanoidRootPart.Position - tower.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude

Your error message seems irrelevant to this line of code, you’re not referencing Workspace here. Must be an error for somewhere else.

Is tower also a humanoid? You’re referencing its HumanoidRootPart as well. If tower is a model anmd target is a humanoid, it would look more like:
local distance = (target.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position - tower.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position).Magnitude
And set the towers’ PrimaryPart to whatever base of it you want to use in determining distance.

HumanoidRootPart is not a valid member of Workspace “Workspace”

still same

This can’t be an error pertaining to the snippet of code we’re talking about though. What you’ve shared does not attempt to reference Workspace.HumanoidRootPart unless the heirarchy of where your “tower” is isn’t set up properly and script.Parent.Parent is Workspace. See that you’re referencing the right location there.
