[SOLVED] The Bird walks the same path each time before sticking to idle state.

Question

Hi all,

I feel like I've followed the video perfectly but something is clearly not right because when I play the game bird always walks slowly to the original position of the frog but then goes to its idle state and stays there.

Here's my birdMovement.cs code. Thanks :)

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class BirdMovement : MonoBehaviour {

    [SerializeField]
    private Transform target;
    private NavMeshAgent birdAgent;
    private Animator birdAnimator;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
        birdAgent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent> ();
        birdAnimator = GetComponent<Animator> ();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
        //Set the bird destnation
        birdAgent.SetDestination (target.position);

        //Measure the magnitude of the nav mesh agents velocity
        float speed = birdAgent.velocity.magnitude;

        //Pass the velocity to the animator component
        birdAnimator.SetFloat ("Speed", speed);
    }
}

Hey Jonathan,

The code seems correct, the only thing I can think of is did you add the Player object to the "Target" in the Bird Movement Script (Done in Unity)?

Select the Bird component from the hierarchy and in the inspector (should see the "Bird Movement Script" at the bottom with a "Target" The box should say "Player (Transform)" If it doesn't, either click the little circle and add "Player" or just drag the Player object from the hierarchy to the box.

If it's already there, then I apologize... I have no other suggestions.
