How to stop enemies dying on spawn

Questions & Answers
1

I am relatively new to unity and C#. I am trying to make a simple dungeon crawling game. Everything is working fine, apart from the code for my enemies health. the if statement telling the game to destroy the enemy game object makes them die as soon as the game is played. An identical piece of code is used for the player and this works fine. any help would be greatly appreciated. code is below, the part that isn’t working is the comment at the end.
Thanks in advance!

public class StrEnemyHealth : MonoBehaviour {

	
	int StrEnHealth = 20;
	
	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collision)
	{
		//takes health from enemy
		if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")
		{
			StrEnHealth-=PlayerStats.Att;
			Debug.Log("enemy health:" +StrEnHealth);
		}
	}

	/*
	//kills enemy if health is 0
	void Update()
	{
		if (StrEnHealth <= 0);
		{
			Debug.Log("enemy dead!");
			Destroy(gameObject);
		}
	}
	*/

Edit:

Found the problem. The if statement has a semicolon appended to the end of it, and it shouldn’t. Change it to the following code:

if (StrEnHealth <= 0)
       {
         Debug.Log("enemy dead!");
         Destroy(gameObject);
       }

What’s happening when the semicolon is in there is the if statement evaluates but does absolutely nothing. Then the code in the curly braces will always execute regardless of the evaluation result of the if statement.
