Enemy game object doesn't follow the player.

Unity Engine

Hi, I’m quite new to unity (1 month) but I still know the basic features, component and some of the scripting.

The enemy doesn’t follow the player but goes to the middle and stop. Its not the rigidbody as when I changed it into kinematic it still wouldnt work. I have also changed the style of the code (by getting rid of the new Vector2 and replacing it with the Vector2.MoveTowards

transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.transform.position, enemySpeed);

entirely instead of only using the x coordinates but still wouldnt work, it would do the same with a bit of jumping continously)

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class EnemyBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{

    // Cached References
    [SerializeField] GameObject player;
    [SerializeField] float enemySpeed = 5f;
    Vector2 enemyTrackPosition;

    private void Start()
    {
        enemySpeed *= Time.deltaTime;
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        enemyTrackPosition = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.transform.position, enemySpeed);
        transform.position = new Vector2(enemyTrackPosition.x, transform.position.y);
    }

    private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")
        {
            Destroy(collision.gameObject);
        }
    }

}

Are you sure “player” is set to the correct GameObject?
