I’ve been playing around with the EVAC CITY tutorial scripts (still learning to do everything).
I wanted the enemy AI script to make the enemy only move when the Player is close by.
I found this code and put it in the void Update:
if(distFromPlayer.magnitude < 30){
velocity = Vector3.zero;
target = player.position;
velocity = (player.position - transform.position).normalized * speed;
}
else{
velocity = moveDirection.normalized * speed;
}
But it gave me 8 errors about some words being out of context. I see it would be a functional code if I nearly rewrote the existing code.
What do you think I could do, using the existing script (in the post below), to make the enemy move when the Player is near by?
Thanks

You will need the Vector3.Distance() funtion:
basically
if(Vector3.Distance(player.transform.position, enemy.transform.position) < 30) // move player if this is true
The “player” and “enemy” have to be referenced in the code. I just named them for example.
Thank you! I ended up putting this in the void AIinput():
if (Vector3.Distance(objPlayer.transform.position, transform.position) > 10)
{
inputMovement = Vector3.zero;
}
Everything works with no errors thank you!
