Why doesn't my Fireball script not work?
Okay, so i've made a fireball script for a dragon. When test it, on output it says did you forget a colon? The first argument of WaitForChild must be an Object. And here's the script:
sp = script.Parent
head = script.Parent.WaitForChild("Head")
function fire()
f = Instance.new("Part")
f.Name = "fireball"
f.Shape = "Ball"
f.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")
f.TopSurface = "Smooth"
f.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
f.Size = Vector3.new(3,3,3)
f.CanCollide = false
f.CFrame = head.CFrame
f.Velocity = head.CFrame.lookVector*math.random(60,100)
g = Instance.new("Fire", fireball)
g.Heat = 5
g.Color = Color3.new(255,0,0)
g.SecondaryColor = Color3.new(85,85,85)
fireball.Parent = game.Workspace
end
while true do
wait()
fire()
end

WaitForChild is a method. Methods use a : instead of .:
head = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")
Other typo: You use fireball in two places; fireball was never defined. Those should be replaced with f which is used everywhere else.
Color3s are not BrickColors. Use Color.new(r,g,b) to make Color3 values. Note that the range of R, G, and B are [0, 1] not [0,255] like that shown in the properties window. Divide each value by 255 to get the correct decimal.

You forgotten to Anchored the fireball and to make it shoot do this Make sure the fireball is to the dragon mouth like CFrame it to the dragon mouth for i = 1,100 do f.CFrame = f.CFrame *CFrame.new(0,0,-5) wait(0.03) end

Why is it looped, That will lag out your game. Also, it would not fly if you fixed your problem, use this instead.
bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
bv.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
bv.velocity = part.CFrame.lookVector*speed
