I am attempting to get a game object to follow another game object and keep getting this error i am not sure what this error means.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;


public class Follower_Movement : Player
{
    public bool aFollower = true;
    public GameObject player = GameObject.Find("Player");
   
    Vector3 behindPlayer = new Vector3(0, 0, -1);
  

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
    {
        Transform playerTransform = player.transform;
        Vector3 followerPosition = playerTransform.position;
    }

// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
    {

        if (aFollower == true)
        {
            followerPosition = followerPosition - behindPlayer;
        }

    }
}

Move your followerPosition declaration to the top of your Object

public class Follower_Movement : Player
{
  Vector3 followerPosition;
  ...
}

Then set it in your Start method

void Start()
{
  Transform playerTransform = player.transform;
  followerPosition = playerTransform.position;
}

Then you can use it in your Update method.

A word to the wise. If you only set the followerPosition at the Start, than you will not have an updated position as the player moves, so I would suggest not only setting it at the start, but also setting it in your update method so you always have the correct location.
