Can you explain what happens after calling the function? And are there any errors?

There are no errors, and what happens is that the fireball spawn but the linearVelocity has no effect

For some reason it didn’t show errors last time but now it shows two:
21:03:07.952 ReplicatedStorage.BossAttacks:4: attempt to index nil with ‘Character’ - Server - BossAttacks:4 and
21:03:07.952 Requested module experienced an error while loading - Server - Script:2

#26

Try

function BossAttacks:BossAttacksFireBalls(boss)
    local fireball = game.ReplicatedStorage.FireBall:Clone()
    fireball.Parent = workspace
    fireball.Position = boss.PrimaryPart.Position
    
    local Direction = char.PrimaryPart.Position - boss.PrimaryPart.Position
    fireball.Velocity = Direction.Unit * 1000  -- Set the Velocity property correctly
end

It does not work as i am using linearVelocity but you seem to be using just velocity which does not work

Ah 1 second, you call localplayer from module script?

#29

You should also try changing:
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

#30

LocalPlayer only works in LocalScript

#31

Still same error it does not seem to be a typo

#32

That does seem plausible to be a problem…

What type of script is the original requiree of the module?

#33

A local script so its not localplayer

I see. I think you should try along the lines of

local selectedPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayers(); selectedPlayer = selectedPlayer[math.random(1, #selectedPlayer)]
local char = selectedPlayer.Character or selectedPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

and changing the boss attack requiree script to a server script.

You call it from ModuleScript right?

it calling from to functions
(boss) to (player, boss)

then call it with target player however you plan to do it with

Can you show both module script and The script to call that function (I mean is it from script or local script)

Its says: 21:13:59.615 ReplicatedStorage.BossAttacks:4: invalid argument #2 to ‘random’ (interval is empty) - Server - BossAttacks:4

I see. I think you should add

if not game.Players:GetPlayers() then
    game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
end

before the random check.

Try This for Player Call in ModuleScript

local BossAttacks = {}
local pathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

function BossAttacks:SummonMinions(player, boss)
        local Character = player.Character
	local zombies = {game.Workspace["Zombie-Type-1"], game.Workspace["Zombie-Type-32"]}
	local clones = 10
	repeat
		for i, v in pairs(zombies) do
			local clone = v:Clone()
			clone.Parent = workspace
			clone:PivotTo(boss.PrimaryPart.CFrame)
			clones -= 1
		end
	until clones == 0
end
 
 function BossAttacks:BossAttacksFireBalls(player, boss)
                local Character = player.Character
		local fireball = game.ReplicatedStorage.FireBall:Clone()
		fireball.Parent = workspace
		fireball.Position = boss.PrimaryPart.Position
		local Direction = char.PrimaryPart.Position - boss.PrimaryPart.Position
		local velo = fireball.LinearVelocity
		velo.LineDirection = Direction
		velo.LineVelocity = 1000
 end

return BossAttacks
