Question

right iv got my enemy following my characters when he comes into range. im using two scripts:

var player : GameObject; var speed : float = 1;

function Start () { player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");

 if (!player)
      Debug.Log ("ERROR could not find Player!");

}

function Update() { if (!player) return;

 var distance = Vector3.Distance( player.transform.position, transform.position);

 if ( distance < 20  )
 {
      Debug.Log ("player is close");

      var delta = player.transform.position - transform.position;
      delta.Normalize();

      var moveSpeed = speed * Time.deltaTime;

      transform.position = transform.position + (delta * moveSpeed);
}
else
{
      Debug.Log("not close yet " + distance);
}

}

and

var minimumRunSpeed = 2.0;

function Start () { // Set all animations to loop animation.wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop;

animation["idle"].layer = -1;
animation["walk"].layer = -1;

animation.Stop();

}

function SetSpeed (speed : float) { if (speed > minimumRunSpeed) animation.CrossFade("walk"); else animation.CrossFade("idle"); }

my enemy follows me but im stuck with a few things, hoping someone can help me out. first of all the enemy doesn't face me, secondly i dont know how to get his animations playing (i have 2 animations idle, and walk) and he walks through objects too. all help appreciated

you can write a much simpler code

var player:GameObject;
function Update()
{
transform.LookAt (player.transform); //you look at player with this
transform.Translate (0,0,speed*Time.deltaTime); //moves with speed in local z and you are looking toward him so you move toward the player
//write other codes here
}

i don't understand your question about animations but you can start walk animation when you move with CrossFade method and start idle when you don't move.

thank you! iv got it to work now i changed it to

var LookAtTarget:Transform; function Update() { transform.LookAt (LookAtTarget); //you look at player with this transform.Translate (0,0,5*Time.deltaTime); //moves with speed in local z and you are looking toward him so you move toward the player //write other codes here }
