How do I check the variable of a specific clone?

I am trying to make a game where multiple enemies come down to attack. I Instantiate them and have them randomly come down. But when I check if they are touching a bullet, only the last instantiated enemy can check it.

Here is the code I am using: (The last 2 if statements are supposed to work for all clones but only works for the last instantiated one)

public ButtonManager script;

public GameObject enemy1;
float SpawnTime1 = 0;
public float MaxTime1;
public Enemy1AI script1;
GameObject newEnemy1;
static Enemy1AI staticVar;

void Update()
{
    if(script.playingGame == true)
    {
        SpawnTime1 += Time.deltaTime;
        if (SpawnTime1 > MaxTime1)
        {
            newEnemy1 = Instantiate(enemy1);
            newEnemy1.transform.position = new Vector2(Random.Range(-4.8f, 4.8f), 10f);
            SpawnTime1 = 0;
            MaxTime1 = Random.Range(4, 5);
        }
        Enemy1AI staticVar = newEnemy1.gameObject.GetComponent<Enemy1AI>();
        if (staticVar != null)
        {
            if (staticVar.transform.position.y < -7)
            {
                Destroy(newEnemy1);
                script.health -= 1;
            }
            if (staticVar.isTouchingBullet == true)
            {
                Destroy(newEnemy1);
                script.sc += 100;
            }
        }
    }
}

This is happening because you are only checking the script of the last spawned enemy.
To counteract this do the following…

  1. Create a new tag called “Enemy1” and add it to the ‘enemy1’ Gameobject.

  2. Then change the script to the following…

    public ButtonManager script;
    public GameObject enemy1;
    float SpawnTime1 = 0;
    public float MaxTime1;
    public Enemy1AI script1;
    GameObject newEnemy1;
    static Enemy1AI staticVar;
    private GameObject 1Enemies;
    void Update()
    {
    Enemies = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag(“Enemy1”)

     if(script.playingGame == true)
 {
     SpawnTime1 += Time.deltaTime;
     if (SpawnTime1 > MaxTime1)
     {
         newEnemy1 = Instantiate(enemy1);
         newEnemy1.transform.position = new Vector2(Random.Range(-4.8f, 4.8f), 10f);
         SpawnTime1 = 0;
         MaxTime1 = Random.Range(4, 5);
     }
     
     foreach (GameObject Enemy in 1Enemies)
     {
          Enemy1AI staticVar = Enemy.gameObject.GetComponent<Enemy1AI>();
          if (staticVar != null)
          {
              if (staticVar.transform.position.y < -7)
              {
                  Destroy(Enemy);
                  script.health -= 1;
              }
              if (staticVar.isTouchingBullet == true)
              {
                  Destroy(Enemy);
                  script.sc += 100;
              }
          }
     }
 }

    }
    NOTE : I have no clue what the ‘ButtonManager’ script does so I don’t know whether to change it or not
