Did you add something to trigger the function? JustinWe12 723 — 3y

I removed the unnecessary game.Workspace.house:GetChildren() in the function but still nothing ym5a 52 — 3y

@JustinWe12 I added the onTouch function or I am forgetting to connect the function or something with tables ym5a 52 — 3y

That is just the name of the function. Someone posted and answer, you can see how to properly call the function with touch event. JustinWe12 723 — 3y

I figured it out the 'h' in house was capitalized which should not have been

local parts = game.Workspace.house:GetChildren()
local part = game.Workspace.selfdestruc
function onTouch(part)
    for i,v in pairs(parts) do
        v.Anchored = false
    end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

Thanks for helping me guys

You will need to call the function when the part touched

local parts = workspace.House:GetChildren()
local part -- the part you need to be touch
function onTouch(selfdestruct)
--    game.Workspace.house:GetChildren() You won't need this since it doesn't do anything
    for i,v in pairs(parts) do
        v.Anchored = false
    end
end

part.Touch:Connect(onTouch)

or if you want it to work without touching the part

local parts = workspace.House:GetChildren()
function onTouch(selfdestruct)
--    game.Workspace.house:GetChildren() You won't need this since it doesn't do anything
    for i,v in pairs(parts) do
        v.Anchored = false
    end
end

onTouch()

Hope that helped!

You should always check wether or not the Instance is a BasePart & make sure you're not calling functions for pointless reasons. Instance.GetChildren returns a table, it doesn't save it for your next statement/loop.

local OnTouched; OnTouched = function(HitInstance)
    for index, value in pairs(workspace.House:GetChildren()) do
        if value:IsA("BasePart") then
            value.Anchored = false
        end
    end
end
