Is there anyway to get the enemy to follow after a certain distance?

Hello! I have this script for my AI to follow my player but I want him to follow after I get a certain distance away from the enemy, anyone know how? thanks! (Script Below)


#pragma strict

var target : Transform;
var navComponent : NavMeshAgent;

function Start () {

navComponent = this.transform.GetComponent(NavMeshAgent);

}

function Update () {

if(target) {

navComponent.SetDestination(target.position);
}
}

 

Something like this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (Vector3.Distance(target.position, this.transform.position) > threshold)
3. {
4.      if (navComponent.velocity.magnitude <= Mathf.epsilon)
5.      {
6.           navComponent.SetDestination(target.position);
7.      }
8. }
9. else
10. {
11.      navComponent.Stop();
12. }
13.  
14.  

That should get it started. This only re-paths the agent if the agent isn't moving, and if it gets close enough to the target, it also stops moving. Probably you'll want to do something a little different, but that's the gist of it.

 

You can just set target to few units behind...
navComponent.destination=(target.position-transform.forward*2f);

 

Thanks guys, I got it sorted now
