I was working on a 2.5D enemy AI movement on a platform. The idea is to get the enemy(green cubes) to move along the platform, when it gets to the edge of the platform, it turns around and goes the opposite direction, if it meets another enemy, it should turn around and go the opposite direction.
My code works and the enemy moves as I expected on the editor, but when I build it out to mobile, the enemy develops a weird movement(like it is trying to go in both directions at the same time).
Here's a playtest on the editor: https://youtu.be/fmZSHd3GXDE
Here's a playtest on mobile: https://youtu.be/xBDDdgVrGQE
I can't find out what could be the cause. What do you think?
