So I made a zombie who moves to kill someone he finds and there are a lot of models like Torso and other body parts it was R6 and so I wanted to return its target name but I don't know from all the parts how to choose its name.

Look at return target at line 13 where it says "return Target"

01local ZombieTorso = script.Parent.Torso
02local ZombieHum = script.Parent.Humanoid
03 
04local function Move()
05    local Distance = 50
06    local Target = nil
07    for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
08        local Human = v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
09        local Torso = v:FindFirstChild("UpperTorso")
10 
11        if Human and Torso and v ~= script.Parent then
12            if (ZombieTorso.Position-Torso.Position).Magnitude < Distance then
13                     Target = Torso             
14            end
15        end
16        end
17        return Target -- The target here is the thing I want to find its target name how can we find use the torso to find its name from all the other children's? 
18end
19 
20while wait(1) do
21    local TargetIs = Move()
22    print(TargetIs)
23    if TargetIs then
24        ZombieHum:MoveTo(ZombieTorso.Position + Vector3.new(math.random(-50,50), 0))
25    end
26end

You could use:

`1`	`for` `i, v` `in` `pairs`

and then use

`1`	`if` `v.Name` `==` `""` `-- object name`

`1`	`if` `v:IsA("")` `-- if its an instance`

or both

`1`	`if` `v:IsA("ImageButton")` `and` `v.Name` `==` `"TestButton"` `then`
