A* enemy prefab

Unity Engine

Hi i am new to Unity and i have a problem.

I try to make a wavespawner that spawns enemies from a prefab. Those enemy prefabs should spawn and start follow the player. Its a 2D game and i am using Aron Granberg’s Astar Pathfinder. I easily set up all scripts for my enemy prefab…

but

the only problem with the Destination script i can’t solve is:
How do i get the Transform from the Player into that prefab.

If you know the answer please keep it simple thanks!

I’m having the same issue…did you ever find a solution?

I think the best way to fix it, is to add a start function that makes the enemy target the player at when it spawns, but I’m not sure how to do that since I’m a beginner to reading/writing code.

Uhh… I’m beginner as well. But there is this code : Vector3.MoveTowards. This code can be used to follow a player.
Link : Unity - Scripting API: Vector3.MoveTowards
Note: target is Player GameObject

public float speed = 20;
public GameObject target;

void Update(){
       ChaseTarget(target);
}

void ChaseTarget(GameObject target)
{
       // Move our position a step closer to the target.
        float step = speed * Time.deltaTime; // calculate distance to move
        transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.transform.position, step);
}

Not sure this is what you looking for. Hope this helps you.
