How to Move an enemy left? My script broke...

1

The script to move my enemy “left” worked yesterday on my work PC.
Opening to today on laptop and its spits out compiler errors?

//GetComponent ().velocity = Vector2.left;
Is vector2.left not supported in certain versions of unity?

How can I modify this script below to move my enemy left right now it just moves right?
GetComponent().velocity = new Vector2 (velocity, GetComponent().velocity.y);

Is there a better way to move an enemy across the screen towards left? In fixed update?

Thanks

negative velocity?
GetComponent().velocity = new Vector2 (-velocity, GetComponent().velocity.y)

What error do you get when trying to do Vector2.left?

  • velocity did not work
    Am i missing a using statement for vector2 left?

here is the error message i get.
Assets/scripts/MoveEnemy.cs(14,65): error CS0117: UnityEngine.Vector2' does not contain a definition for left’

Problem solved

GetComponent ().velocity = -Vector2.right;

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MoveEnemy : MonoBehaviour {
    public GameObject Player;
    public float velocity = -1.0f;
    void Start () {
  
    }
  
    // Update is called once per frame
    void FixedUpdate () {
  
        GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().velocity = -Vector2.right;
    
    }
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
        if(other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player")){
            Destroy (Player);
            Debug.Log ("Hit");

        }

    }
}
