using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class FlyMovement : MonoBehaviour { [SerializeField] private Transform center;

private float flySpeed;

// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{

    //flys will move at speed between two numbers
    flySpeed = Random.Range(300f, 700f);

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
