Ok, this is going to require a few steps, but you could do something like this:

Add a private bool hasArrived to your list of variables.

Change Update to this:

  void Update()
     {
         if(has Arrived ==true)
         {
              return;
         }
         else
         {
              if(gameObject.activeInHierachy == true)
              {
                   transform.position = playerPos.positoin;
              }
         }
     }

Then add this line somewhere in that script:

 void OnCollisionEnter(Collider col) //if this is a 2D game, use OnCollisionEnter2D instead
     {
          if(col.tag == "Player"
          {
               has Arrived = true;
          }
     }

Let me know if that is helping.

I'm afraid to say that it did not work. The game object is still always staying on the player even with the new code you have given me.

Let's figure this out!

Is this a 2D game? If it is, you need to call OnCollisionEnter2D(Collider col)
Do both of these objects have some sort of collider on them (whichever is appropriate for a 3D or 2D game)?
Does at least one of these objects also have the corresponding RigidBody (either 3D or 2D, depending on what type of game)?
Did you fix the syntax error i had accidentally put with has Arrived? (I just noticed that right now! It should have given you an error though and shouldn't have run if you compiled it, which brings me to my last question...)
Sorry if this insults your intelligence, but did you compile the code?

If you made it this far and it is still giving you an error, it shouldn't; if it does though, do this for me, add a Debug.log here:

 void OnCollisionEnter(Collider col) //if this is a 2D game, use OnCollisionEnter2D ins$$anonymous$$d
      {
           if(col.tag == "Player"
           {
               Debug.log("Touching Player")'
                has Arrived = true;
           }
      }

Let me know if it prints that touching player log when it gets close.
