Make an enemy follows and point towards player

Question

I got this code, but it doesn't work properly.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 [AddComponentMenu("Playground/Movement/Follow Target")]
 public class FollowTarget : Physics2DObject
 {
     // This is the target the object is going to move towards
     public Transform target;
 
     // Speed used to move towards the target
     public float speed = 1f;
 
     // The direction that will face the target
     public Enums.Directions useSide = Enums.Directions.Up;
     
     // FixedUpdate is called once per frame
     void FixedUpdate ()
     {
         //Move towards the target
         rigidbody2D.MovePosition(Vector2.Lerp(transform.position, target.position, Time.fixedDeltaTime * speed));
         //look towards the target        
         Utils.SetAxisTowards(useSide, transform, target.position - transform.position);
         
     }
 }

Any help will be apreciated

We need more information here. In what way isn't it working?

The Utils.SetAxisTowards() method is not part of UnityEngine namespace, so we can't know what it does. Same thing goes for the Enums.Direction, even though that one is pretty self explanatory.

Anyways, getting one game object to look at another is pretty straight forward, just use

 transform.LookAt(otherTransform);

This will make the forward axis of the current gameobject point towards the other gameobject.
