How to Make an Object Follow Another in Unity (MoveTowards Tutorial)
In this Unity tutorial, I’ll show you how to use the MoveTowards method to make one object track and move toward another. This is a simple and effective way to create enemy AI, homing projectiles, or following mechanics in your game
SCRIPT:
using UnityEngine;
public class ProjectileBehavior : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField]
private float speed = 5f;
[SerializeField] Transform player;
private Vector3 playerPosition;
void Start()
{
playerPosition = player.transform.position;
}
void Update()
{
MoveToPlayer();
DestroyOnHit();
}
private void MoveToPlayer()
{
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, playerPosition, (speed * Time.deltaTime));
}
private void DestroyOnHit()
{
if (transform.position == playerPosition)
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
}
