Enemy tracking

I am having trouble getting my enemy to move towards the player as of right now it moves away what do I need to change in order to fix it?

Code (CSharp):

1. public class enemy : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     Transform playerTransform;
4.     UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshAgent myNavmesh;
5.     public float checkRate = 0.001f;
6.     float nextCheck;
7.    
8.     // Start is called before the first frame update
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.         if (GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").activeInHierarchy)
12.             playerTransform = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;
13.  
14.         myNavmesh = gameObject.GetComponent<UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshAgent>();
15.     }
16.    
17.     // Update is called once per frame
18.     void Update()
19.     {
20.        if (Time.time > nextCheck)
21.         {
22.             nextCheck = Time.time + checkRate;
23.             FollowPlayer();
24.         }
25.     }
26.     void FollowPlayer()
27.     {
28.         myNavmesh.transform.LookAt(playerTransform);
29.         myNavmesh.destination = playerTransform.position;
30.     }
31.  
32. }
33.  

 

you should probably use

myNavmesh.SetDestination()

instead of

myNavmesh.destination =

, and maybe the rotation makes him move in the wrong direction, so put the following code in your Start() method:

myNavmesh.updateRotation = false;

 

I changed the code like you suggested put I’m still having trouble getting it to work could it have something to do with the asset that I am using which is tagged as player?

 

Depends on the Asset ... Outcomment the following lines in your Start function

Code (CSharp):

1. if (GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").activeInHierarchy)
2.             playerTransform = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;
3.         myNavmesh = gameObject.GetComponent<UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshAgent>();

make the variables "playerTransform" and "myNavmesh" visible in the inspector by making them public or adding the [SerializeField] attribute, then assign them manually.
You can assign an Empty GameObject instead of the PlayerTransform to check the behaviour - also check if the navmesh is generated correctly, re-bake it maybe.
