Move Torwards Transform.Localscale not working

Questions & Answers
1

so i have made a simpel script that makes an enemy move torwards the player it works really well i just have a litle problem which is when i try to Transform.local scale my enemy so that the graphic will flip if hes changing direction it simply dosent work im using the same code that i used to flip my player when i press a A/D to move Right/Left by simply checking wether the Rigidiy body is moving right or left no idea why its not working neither did anyone that i asked and not quite sure what to google but gave a shot with no luck any help is appreciated Ty in advance.

Source Code

public bool EnemyOnPlayer;

	private Rigidbody myrigidbody;

	public PlayerController thePlayer;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		EnemyOnPlayer = false;

		myrigidbody = FindObjectOfType<Rigidbody> ();

		thePlayer = FindObjectOfType<PlayerController>();
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		if (EnemyOnPlayer == false)
		{
			transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards (transform.position, thePlayer.transform.position, Time.deltaTime * move_speed);
		}

		
		if (myrigidbody.velocity.x > 0)
		{
			transform.localScale = new Vector3 (1f, 1f, 1f);
		}
		if (myrigidbody.velocity.x < 0)
		{
			transform.localScale = new Vector3 (-1f, 1f, 1f);
		}
	}

Vector3.MoveTowards is not adding any physic things, so velocity stays always at 0.

If you still want to move your Object without physics just calculate with your positions.

		if (transform.position.x < thePlayer.transform.position.x)
		{
			transform.localScale = new Vector3 (1f, 1f, 1f);
		}

		if (transform.position.x > thePlayer.transform.position.x)
		{
			transform.localScale = new Vector3 (-1f, 1f, 1f);
		}

This is untested pseudo code, just to give you a shot.
