Stop enemies from grouping up

Questions & Answers

In my game I have multiple enemies. These enemies move towards the player.
However if the player circles around the enemies the enemies group up and eventually you only see one enemy. How can I keep this from happening?

Thank you in advance.

The code:
enemyHealthBar.fillAmount = antHealth / antHealthBarDivide;
float distance = Vector2.Distance(target.position, transform.position);

        if (distance < detectionRange)
        {
 

            if (Vector2.Distance(transform.position, target.position) > 1)
            {
                transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);


            }

            Vector2 direction = target.position - transform.position;
            float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
            Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.back);
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotation, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
            
        }

Should look into group steering behaviors. What you are looking for in your question is a separating behavior. A simple way can be done by casting a sphere around each enemy to look for other enemies. Then have each enemy move away from the others. I put together something simple that you can put directly after the code you provided:

float separateSpeed = speed/2f;
float separateRadius = 1f;

Vector2 sum = Vector2.zero;
float count = 0f;

// overlapshere to detect others
var hits = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, separateRadius);
foreach(var hit in hits) {
	// make sure it is a fellow enemy ** use your enemy script name **
	if(hit.GetComponent<Enemy>() != null && hit.transform != transform) {
		// get the difference so you know which way to go
		Vector2 difference = transform.position - hit.transform.position;

		// weight by distance so being closer means moving more
		difference = difference.normalized / Mathf.Abs(difference.magnitude); 

		// add together to get average of the group
		// this allows those at the edges of a group to move out while
		// the enemies in the center of a group to not move much
		sum += difference;
		count++;
	}
}

if (count > 0) {
	// average the direction
	sum /= count;
			
	// set the speed of movement
	sum = sum.normalized * separateSpeed;

	// this is where you would apply this vector for movement
	// i am basing this off of the code you provided
	transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, transform.position + (Vector3)sum, separateSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
