smoothfollow attached to enemy not following player

Hi guys i was wondering if you could help with a dilema i am having. I have a first person controler acting as a Player and i have an emeny that spawns multiple enemies so far so good, i have used a smooth follow script that someone had written from here in the community in C#, added the below code to the enemy and selected the first person controller as my target but fro some reason when these cubes spawn they go right past me but i want them to follow me can someone please look at both my spawning code or the smooth as i cannot understand why it would do this:
