How do I let my Enemy get the Player's Current Position and other variables?

Question

So usually in games Enemies need to know where the player is.

That would require me to in an Enemy Script to get the player's curernt position constantly.

In java that's easy.

In the Enemies class you make a Player p;

and then in the constructor you set p = the player given in the constructor list

and then in update() theplayerX = p.getPlayerX();

But i know it doesn't work that way in Unity C#. How do i do it?

I'm raedy to start my game and that's one of the basic things i need to do. Get players variables or Get Objects positions

Like other things i would need to know is: =Enemy should know if Player is punching him or if player is running away or if players energy level is low

You know things like that

if what you want is player position on c# you can just use this code

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour {
     
 public GameObject player;
 public vector3 playerpos; //you need to set the player on the inspector
 
 void update()
 {
 playerpos = player.position;
 
 }
 
 
 
 }

Great. so if i set the players position in the inspector, that means the initial position right? cause i mean my player will be moving and so the position will be changing.

And also, that's the position. How about other things like STATES. Like in my Player i will switch to blocking animation if the player blocks. and upon this i will set the state to BLOC$$anonymous$$ING.

so the enemy just needs to get that state variable the same way you told me? So i should make the player's STATE variable public and set it in the inspector?

How do I let my Enemy get the Player's Current Position and other variables?
