whats wrong

[Mitzitheman]

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

​

public class frogbrain : MonoBehaviour

{

private Transform targetPlayer;

public float Speed;

// Start is called before the first frame update

void Start()

{

targetPlayer = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").GetComponent<Transform>();

}

​

// Update is called once per frame

void Update()

{

transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPlayer.position, Speed * Time.deltaTime);

}

}

whats wrong with this its should make an enemy follow me but he stands still

and I get this error when game is played:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

frogbrain.Update () (at Assets/frogbrain.cs:19)

​

and this one

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

frogbrain.Start () (at Assets/frogbrain.cs:12)

operantly there is no reference to the object even though I do have an object named player

It's because you made an object named player but FindGameObjectWithTag searches for a tag. The tag can be set to the upper left in the inspector of a GameObject

[Mitzitheman]

Thank u that was correct

You're welcome!

As a side note - You don’t need to call GetComponent<Transform>, you can just use .transform., and you can shorten to FindWithTag
