How to..gameObject yieldWaitforSeconds then mimic Player

Questions & Answers

I have an object that is instantiated by the player, using the players transform and rotation. I am wanting it to wait for a few seconds and then copy the movement of the player with the caveat that if the player hits a wall then the instantiated gameObject can no longer move. I have tried creating it as a child and I have tried to get the Players movement but it I can never get it to stop when the Player is forced to a stop, the gameObject keeps moving.

Here is the code I have so far, but I feel it is not even close to what I am looking for.

function Update () 
{
	var mirrorObject = GameObject.Find ("PlayerObject");
	mirrorObject = transform;
	var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
	var newPosition : Vector3;
	newPosition = transform.TransformDirection (mirrorObject); // Get the mirrorObject's position
	
	if (mirrorX)
	{
	newPosition.x = -newPosition.x; //Mirror on the X axis
	}
	if (mirrorY)
	{
	newPosition.y = -newPosition.y; //Mirror on the Y axis
	}
	if (mirrorZ)
	{
	newPosition.z = -newPosition.z; //Mirror on the Z axis
	}
		
	controller.Move (newPosition * Time.deltaTime * speed );
}

Can someone lead me down the right track? I don’t mind doing the homework, but I just am hitting my head against the wall.

There is criticism and helpful criticism, I was looking for help. Thanks though, I’m aware I’m doing something wrong or I wouldn’t be looking for advice. I’m an artist not a programmer. It’s cool though. I’ll fix it on my own. Cheers!
