Update runs only once

Scripting
1

Good day!

I experienced an unusual problem.After adding some left-right movement to an enemy(using velocity in FIxed Update),my Update function runs only once.For ex. if I add Debug.Log(“Hello”),it appears in console only in the beginning!Please tell me what is the problem.

public class FlyerEnemyMove : MonoBehaviour {

    public float movingSpeed;
    private int direction;
    public float maxDist;
    public float minDist;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start ()
    {
        direction = -1;
        maxDist += transform.position.x;
        minDist -= transform.position.x;
    }


    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        movingLeftAndRight ();
    }

    void Update ()
    {
                Debug.Log("Hello");

    }

    void movingLeftAndRight()
        {
            switch (direction)
            {
            case -1:
            {
                // Moving Left
                if( transform.position.x > minDist)
                {
                    GetComponent <Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(-movingSpeed,GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity.y);
                }
                else
                {
                    direction = 1;
                }
                break;
            }
            case 1:
            {
                //Moving Right
                if(transform.position.x < maxDist)
                {
                    GetComponent <Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2(movingSpeed,GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity.y);
                }
                else
                {
                    direction = -1;
                }
                break;
            }
               
            }
        }
}

Thank you very much!

Have you doubled checked that you don’t have “collapse” enabled in the console window?

You can use Collapse, just pay attention to the number on the right, which indicates how many times the Debug.Log line has been printed.
