Need help with my enemy spawn script.

[shortyzsly]

Ok so I made the changes to the script as follows:

#pragma strict

var emily : GameObject;
var emilyspottedSound : AudioClip;
var target : Transform;
var safeDistance = 10; //How close the player can get

function Start () {
renderer.enabled = false;
collider.enabled = false;

}



   function Update(){
     
    //check how close the player is
    var distanceToPlayer = Vector3.Distance(this.transform.position, target.transform.position);
     
    // this checks to see if the player is too close then runs the spawn function
    if(distanceToPlayer <= safeDistance){
    spawn();
    }
	
     if (renderer.enabled == true){
			destroy();
		}
    
     
    

 }
 
	
	//this is your spawn function
	function spawn (){
    //look at the target
	renderer.enabled = true;
	collider.enabled = true; 
	transform.LookAt(target);
	audio.Play();
	}
	
	function destroy(){
	yield WaitForSeconds (0.5);
	Destroy(gameObject);
		
	}

It unfortunately still doesn’t work. She just stands there lol.

I would guess that it doesn’t work because you disable the emily gameObject and hence it can’t check if it’s near the player etc.

Just use renderer.enabled = false/true (and colider.enabled = false/true) instead, this way emily will still be there and all her scripts will work in the background, but the player won’t see her if she isn’t supposed to be there.
