I don’t have the traditional movement script for my player. The way it works in a nutshell is I click on a wall in a 360 radius around the player and they lerp to that position with a W.I.P collision system I implemented(Uses raycast to stop lerping if they “collide” with the wall) I thought it would be simple to remove my enemy’s movement script and edit my player’s movement script a little bit to have it work for them but it apparently isn’t that simple and it won’t work in alot of ways.
Problems/insights with the enemy’s lerping script
- The timer to dash at the player won’t reset even if I move the player towards the enemy
- The timer in the movement courintine won’t move form zero
- The enemy won’t dash at the player
- The enemy is supposed to have it’s rotation fixed on the player but when it dashes it locks to lerp towards the position the player was at when the timer to charge up a attack reached 0 but only seems to lock on(I think it’s in a perpetual state of trying to lerp towards the player?)
UPDATE(I put some Debug logs in my code and I noticed CurrentPointToLerpFromPosition is 0, 0, 0 on my enemy script at all times but on my player script it gets a value after I click on a wall?)

I wanted to trying to stop relying on unity answers and have been working on this for a lot of hours but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
