So what I am trying to do is have an AI character make decisions based on 3 zones, far distance, mid distance, or close range (not yet to close range). So far, the logic is set up so the character if in the far zone (50 to 100) will come forward. Once it reaches 50, it will decide if it will move left or move right (eventually going to add in move forward, or jump attack) for a certain amount of time between 2 and 10 seconds. This is based off a random number generator. Once this number is generated (1 or 2), it will call on either the move left or move right functions. These functions create a position vector, a destination vector (x or -x direction), and a time float which is another random range between 2 and 10. These values are then output to a coroutine. I am fairly new to coroutines. Right now, running the code I have, the AI character comes in from 100 units just fine. Once it reaches 50, it will slowly move left or right for a little bit, and then start glitching back and forth. I am wonder what I have done wrong here. Am I missing some type of position cache at the beginning or possibly the coroutine isn't returning a time. I'm really not sure. Please help.
