My 1st attempt with a 2D Platform Game. My Player Character and Melee Enemy work as expected. The Player Character has a Rigidbody 2D set as Dynamic. The Melee Enemy just a Box Collider 2D set as a Trigger. Everything works well until I place the Melee Enemy within an EnemyPatrol as a Child. The Enemy now patrols up and down as you would expect but the Box Collider 2D becomes ‘Rigid’ and ignores the ‘Is Trigger’ Setting. So the Melee Enemy just pushes up against the Player Character and becomes ‘stuck’.
I cannot see how the attached script that appears to be working ok has corrupted the Box Collider setting?
Very frustrating and after a day of playing with the settings and searching online still no solution.
Any suggestions on how to resolve would be great… thanks.

}
private void MoveInDirection(int _direction)
{
idleTimer = 0;
anim.SetBool("moving", true); //sets animation to moving
//Goblin to face in the correct direction
enemy.localScale = new Vector3(Mathf.Abs(initScale.x) * _direction, initScale.y, initScale.z);
// Move in that direction
enemy.position = new Vector3(enemy.position.x + Time.deltaTime * _direction * speed, enemy.position.y, enemy.position.z);
}
