I'm trying out a tower defence game. The way my towers worked was that they attacked the zombies that were closest to the end by body position. I decided to change it to attack the first unit but there's a problem. I couldn't find out how to get the zombies to attack the first unit. I found on the Dev Forum on a simple code for that sort of thing but it didn't work as expected. The towers did attack the first unit but they would lock onto that unit and all the same types of enemies (If it targets boss, it'll target and kill all the other bosses and then target other units) and even if they target the first unit if a faster enemy passes it, it doesn't target that zombie. I tried removing the unit from a table after the action is fired but as a result, it attacked an enemy then targetted a different one. Any suggestions?

This is the whole Tower Script:

local Handles = {}

wait()

if Model:FindFirstChild("CliffTower") == nil then
Model.Torso.Anchored = true
end
for _, v in pairs(Model:GetChildren()) do

	end
end

			end)

end

         table.insert(NearbyEnemies, enemy)

spawn(function()

		shootTarget(GetHumanoids())
	end
end)

if you are able to change up the function for the "Target First unit" function, that'd be fine.
