Enemy wanders off from cells and doesn't return! ETeeskiTutorials FPS1.36

Scripting
1

YO!
Here’s a link to the video giving me the problem:

Followed Eteeski’s AI tutorials (very helpful BTW), but encountered a problem.

When the game starts, the enemy immediatly leaves his cell and wanders off to a random part of the map in a straight line. He then heads back towards his previous cell, and then back to the random point BEFORE re-entering the cell.

I’ve tried increasing the size of the cells, i added the piece of code to the player movement script which renders the currentCell null on the player exiting his cell.

I get no errors.

If you wish to see the other scripts please let me know, but all was working fine until i made the 1.36 adjustments to the script.

I’ll put the EnemyMovementScript code below (and i’m afraid it comes with my amazing notes):

var currentCell : GameObject;
var playerMovementScript : PlayerMovementScript;
var playerTransform : Transform; 
var playerCell : GameObject;
var goalDoor : GameObject;
var shortestPathSoFar : float;
var waitToStart : float = 5;

var currentMoveSpeed : float = 2;

var randomizedCourse : boolean = false;
var randomizeCourseVector : Vector3;
var calculatedNewRandomizeCourseVector : boolean;

function Awake ()
{
	shortestPathSoFar = Mathf.Infinity;
	playerMovementScript = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent(PlayerMovementScript);
	playerTransform = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").transform;
	waitToStart = 5;
}

function Update ()
{
	if (waitToStart <= 0)
	{
		playerCell = playerMovementScript.currentCell;
		for (var doorCheckingNow : GameObject in currentCell.GetComponent(AIpathCellScript).doors)
		{
			for (var i : int = 0; i <= doorCheckingNow.GetComponent(AIpathDoorScript).cells.length - 1; i++)
			{
				if (doorCheckingNow.GetComponent(AIpathDoorScript).cells[i] == playerCell)
				if (doorCheckingNow.GetComponent(AIpathDoorScript).doorsToCells[i] < shortestPathSoFar)
				{
					goalDoor = doorCheckingNow;
					shortestPathSoFar = doorCheckingNow.GetComponent(AIpathDoorScript).doorsToCells[i];
				}
			}
		}
		shortestPathSoFar = Mathf.Infinity;
	}
	waitToStart -= 1;
	
	if (!calculatedNewRandomizeCourseVector)
	{
		randomizeCourseVector = FindRandomSpotInCurrentCell();
		calculatedNewRandomizeCourseVector = true;
	}
	
	
	//moves the 'enemy' toward the target door
	if (currentCell != playerCell || playerCell == null)
	{
		if (randomizedCourse)
			transform.position += (goalDoor.transform.position - transform.position).normalized * currentMoveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
		if(!randomizedCourse)
			{
				transform.position += (randomizeCourseVector - transform.position).normalized * currentMoveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
				if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, randomizeCourseVector) < transform.localScale.x)
				{
					if (goalDoor)
						randomizedCourse = true;
					if (goalDoor == null)
						calculatedNewRandomizeCourseVector = false;
				}
			
			}
	}		
	//moves the 'enemy' toward the 'player'	
	if (playerCell == currentCell)
		transform.position += (playerTransform.position - transform.position).normalized * currentMoveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
			
}

function OnTriggerEnter (hitTrigger : Collider)
{
	if (hitTrigger.tag == "AIpathCell")
	{
		currentCell = hitTrigger.gameObject;
		randomizedCourse = false;
		calculateNewRandomizeCourseVector = false;
	}
}

//The following function may not be nessercery...*seethe*
/*function OnTriggerStay (hitTrigger : Collider)
{
	if (hitTrigger.tag == "AIpathCell")
	{
		currentCell = hitTrigger.gameObject;
	}
}*/

//when function is called, 'enemy' will go to a random spot in it's cell before moving to the next door
function FindRandomSpotInCurrentCell ()
{
return currentCell.transform.position + (currentCell.transform.rotation * Vector3
								( /* X */ Random.Range(currentCell.transform.localScale.x * -05, currentCell.transform.localScale.x * 05),
										/* Y */	0,
											/* Z */	Random.Range(currentCell.transform.localScale.z * -05, currentCell.transform.localScale.z * 05)));


}

Are your cells children of another gameObject? If so, are the scales, rotation and position of those gameObject(s) 1,1,1 and 0,0,0 and 0,0,0, respectively?

In addition, in the inspector, does the enemy’s “currentCell” match the cell it should be in?

If you add more than 1 enemy, do they all go to the same place?

Just trying to isolate which part of the code is the problem.
