you try to find the target’s character every frame physics gets processed, however, the player’s character likely didn’t load by the time you run this script. Thus causing errors as you try to access humanoidrootpart when the char variable is nil(don’t exist).

---- Function Call
while true do
-- unnecessary, you already wait 0.5 inside GoTarget: task.wait()
-- zombie.Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(ZombieHealthChanged) you are creating a brand new connection that triggers whenever zombie health changed every 0.5 seconds, only a single connection is needed
GoTarget()

That code change caused the entire script to break instead of waiting until char was detected, I just put the zombie in server storage and spawn it after 15 seconds since it will be in a spawning system anyways.
