2D Help with Player prefab error

Hi all,

Thanks for reading. I need some help with my game. I've got a character that transforms into another character and it uses player prefabs, the issue I'm having is when I initiate the transformation the old player gameobject is destroyed and a new player transform is instantiated.

The issue is that there are enemy gameobjects which track the player and check its distance etc with every frame, I figured I would simply update the GameObject in the local enemies scripts but for some reason it doesn't work. The transform remains null after switching.

I've also tried using a game manager which tracks the player using FindGameObjectWithTag and just referencing it via a static GameObject

All of these produce the same result and I'm wondering if there is a simple solution that I have over looked

So imagine I have an enemy game object which tracks the players distance if the player transform is null, just return. otherwise follow the player.

Now the player transforms into another player. The enemy should reference the game managers reference to the player via a GameObject that is set as static. Which is updated after the player is destroyed and re-instantiated but for some reason the enemy remains stationary with a null player transform reference..

Thanks

 

In the script where the enemies are identifiying the player can you put a check I. & if it returns null then do the search for the game object again?

 

Thanks it seems to have worked even though I did it before and it didn't. So not sure why it works now.
