Where is this "nil value"? Is Meteor on the last code snippet defined? User#19524 175 — 5y

You are calling a function inside itself...

do this..

local function UnAnchor()
    for _, v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
        if v.ClassName == "Part" then
            v.Anchored = false
        end
    end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
    print("Meteor was touched by player")
    UnAnchor()
end)

There were a couple of errors in your script

  1. you are calling a function within itself
  2. you have a "?" after callign your function
  3. you spelled unanchor wrong when using it in the touched event..
  4. your parenthesis on the last line was merged with end) meaning it would error

What I did... i made a loop in script.Parent:GetChildren() and made its anchor false when the player touches its parents brick

If this works for you, upvote and click accept please :)
