Question How to stop enemies from huddling and surrounding the player (2D)

Hello everyone,

I am trying to make a 2D game where enemies move and surrond the player here is the code for following the player

Code (CSharp):

1.  if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, tower.position) > minDistance)
2.         {
3.            
4.             //transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, tower.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
5.  
6.  
7.             Vector3 movePosition = transform.position;
8.  
9.             movePosition.x = Mathf.MoveTowards(transform.position.x, tower.transform.position.x, speed * Time.deltaTime);
10.             movePosition.y = Mathf.MoveTowards(transform.position.y, tower.transform.position.y, speed * Time.deltaTime);
11.  
12.             GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().MovePosition(movePosition);
13.  
14.  
15.         }

It works perfectly when there is one enemy (Enemies are in red) (Player is in blue)


But when I have a lot of enemies they just freeze as so but I want them to surround the player without colliding with each other like so



Thanks in advance

 

Hello there, Ia3eb!
Now, I'm no expert myself, but perhaps adding a collider2D component to your enemies might solve your problem. Your enemies would collide into each other, but I think they may surround the player.
I'm sorry if this doesn't provide too much assistance. I am a beginner myself.
Good luck, Ia3eb!

 

Thank you for your response the enemies already have the collider that's why they aren't colliding in the photo above I just don't want them to go in a line like photo one
