Finding Closest Enemy...

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to make a script that finds enemies closest to my player.

Here is what I have ;-

function FixedUpdate(){
Debug.Log(FindClosestEnemy().name);
}

// Find the closest enemy 
function FindClosestEnemy() : GameObject { 
	// Find all game objects with tag Enemy 
	var gos : GameObject[]; 
	gos = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy"); 
	var closest : GameObject; 
	var distance = Mathf.Infinity; 
	var position = transform.position; 
	// Iterate through them and find the closest one 
	for (var go : GameObject in gos) { 
		var diff = (go.transform.position - position); 
		var curDistance = diff.sqrMagnitude; 
		if (curDistance < distance) { 
			closest = go; 
			distance = curDistance; 
		} 
	} 
	return closest; 
}

My problem is that the player detects the first enemy and then the second (it gets printed) but when i move back to the first one… the print doesn’t update… Please help…

Do you have “Collapse” turned on in your Console window? The code is right, so it’s something like that.

Warwick… you were right! Its printing now. After I turned off collapse… lol…what a small thing…
