My enemie bullets show up in scene view but not in game view until my Player is overtop of their pos

Unity Engine

Hey everyone, im pretty new to all this but im having a weird bug where my enemy bullets show up the whole time in scene view but wont show up in my game view UNTIL my player is right over top of the enemie’s position. Ive gone through and checked all my order in layer and layer settings to make sure its all correct so nothing is being hidden under another part but i just cant figure this out. Also i cant get the bullets to fire the other direction when the enemy turns around. Any help on this is greatly apppreciated thanks in advance!
Here’s my enemy and bullets scripts:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header ("Stats")]
    public float walkSpeed;
    public float stoppingDistance;
    public float nearDistance;
    public float startTimeBtwShots;
    public float shootSpeed;
    private float timeBtwShots;
    public Transform firePoint2;
    private Vector2 direction;


    [Header ("References")]

    private Transform player;

    public int health = 100;

    public GameObject deathEffect;
    public GameObject bullet;

    public void TakeDamage (int damage)
    {
        health -= damage;

        if (health <= 0)
        {
            Die();
        }
    }
    void Start ()
    {
        player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;
        timeBtwShots = startTimeBtwShots;
    }

    void Update ()
    {
 

        //Makes the enemy move
        if(Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > nearDistance){
            transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.position, walkSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        } else if(Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > stoppingDistance){
            transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.position, walkSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        } else if(Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) < stoppingDistance && Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.position) > nearDistance){
            transform.position = this.transform.position;
        }

        if(player.position.x > transform.position.x && transform.localScale.x > 0
         || player.position.x < transform.position.x && transform.localScale.x < 0)
        {
         Flip();
        }

        //Makes the enemy shoot
        if(timeBtwShots <= 0){
        GameObject newBullet = Instantiate(bullet, firePoint2.position, Quaternion.identity);
        newBullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(shootSpeed * -walkSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime, 0f);
            timeBtwShots = startTimeBtwShots;
        } else {
            timeBtwShots -= Time.deltaTime;
    
        }

    }

    void Flip()
    {
       transform.localScale = new Vector2(transform.localScale.x * -1, transform.localScale.y);
 
       walkSpeed *= 1;
 
    }

       void Die ()
    {
        Instantiate(deathEffect, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }

}

Bullet:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Bullet : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float dieTime, damage, speed;
    public GameObject deathEffect;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
         StartCoroutine(CountDownTimer());
    }

    IEnumerator CountDownTimer()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(dieTime);

        Die();
    }

 void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D col)
    {
     Die();
    }



    void Die()
    {
        Instantiate(deathEffect, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

You might want to try explaining what your code is supposed to do, so that’s it’s possible for people to see where it might be going wrong.

As far as I can tell, you instantiate bullets near the enemy and fire them towards the player. At some point, they collide with the player, destroy themselves, and kill the player. I can’t see anything that would affect visibility.

But as for bullet direction, maybe the line 78 where you change walkSpeed back to itself is the problem? *=1 does nothing. Maybe you want -1?
