Help RayCasting

Hi,

so i have been doing my A.I for my enemies and after many trials i can now hit my enemy and it dies including an animation which is awesome now i want it to move again i have achieved this but, what i now get is the allowed range is weird their is a section of my level where i am quite far from the enemy but it decides i am within the allowed range. i then move closer and the allowed range number gets smaller and then jumps to me being further away and it stops moving until i do move into the allowed range and again it starts moving.

what have i done wrong any help always appreciated.

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

public class SpiderAI : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject ThePlayer;
    public float TargetDistance;
    public float AllowedRange = 10;
    public GameObject TheEnemy;
    public float EnemySpeed;
    public int AttackTrigger;
    public RaycastHit Shot;

    void Update()
    {
        transform.LookAt(ThePlayer.transform);
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out Shot))
        {
            TargetDistance = Shot.distance;
            if (TargetDistance <= AllowedRange)
            {
                EnemySpeed = 0.05f;
                if (AttackTrigger == 0)
                {
                    TheEnemy.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("walk");
                    transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, ThePlayer.transform.position, EnemySpeed);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                EnemySpeed = 0;
                TheEnemy.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("idle");
            }
        }
    }
}

above is the AI script
Below is the enemy script.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class SpiderEnemy : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int EnemyHealth = 10;
    public GameObject TheSpider;
    public int SpiderStatus;
    public int BaseXP = 10;
    public int CalculatedXP;
    void DeductPoints (int DamageAmount)
    {
        EnemyHealth -= DamageAmount;
    }
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (EnemyHealth <= 0 ){
            if (SpiderStatus == 0)
            {
                StartCoroutine(DeathSpider());
            }
        }
    }
    IEnumerator DeathSpider()
    {
        SpiderStatus = 6;
        CalculatedXP = BaseXP * GlobalLevel.CurrentLevel;
        GlobalXP.CurrentXP += CalculatedXP;
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.8f);
        TheSpider.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("die");
    }
}

Probably the only way this is going to be solved is for you to take these steps:

  • set up the simplest scenario that shows the problem (1 player + 2 enemies for instance)

  • put in tons of instrumentation (Debug.Log() scattered through this code) showing what points in the code are being reached, what numbers are resulting, etc.

then run it until you figure it ou1
