Can someone help me fix my roblox Lua scripting? - lua

Question

I made a zombie script with waves but then I got an error called "attempted to index nil with humanoid" so when I load it in my game I type in /console and the error keeps popping up, at first I thought my game had a virus but I fixed them all and there's still this error can someone help me even my friend can't help me. Thanks!
I have tried using various tools, asked my friends and also hired a Roblox Scripter for $1, but they couldn't fix it.
Here's my script for reference:
local spawns = script.Parent
local spawn_time = 10
while true do
wait(spawn_time)
for _,spwn in pairs(spawns:GetChildren()) do
if spwn:IsA('BasePart') then
local zombieCopy = game.ReplicatedStorage['Drooling Zombie']:Clone()
zombieCopy.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(spwn.Postiion + Vector3.new(0,3,0))
end
end
end
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

From what I understand, you are attempting to spawn a zombie model on the player when they spawn? Could you please also clarify where your script is, and what error you receive when you play the game and run the script? If anything is wrong in my response, please modify it accordingly or comment on what I have done wrong considering I haven't tested this script yet. From the script you have provided me, here's a somewhat better version of your script:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local spawn = script.Parent
local duration = 10
local function summonZombie()
for _, spawn in pairs(spawn:GetChildren()) do
local zombieCopy = ReplicatedStorage['Drooling Zombie']:Clone()
zombieCopy.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(spawn.Position + Vector3.new(0,3,0))
end
end
while true do task.wait(duration) summonZombie() end
May I mention, there is a typo on the zombieCopy line, so that's something to point out. Please ensure you check your script for any silly mistakes like that before posting to SO.
One last thing, never use game.[Service] for calling in-game services like Workspace or Players. Instead use:
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
... not:
local Workspace = game.Workspace
Edit: sorry, I forgot to close the for statement.
I have updated the code above accordingly, thanks for the report.
