Any collision with my cloned objects only affects the last clone created

Question

I have an enemy object with scripts and components and a figure. I clone this object when the game starts. I have an empty spawner game object that creates these clones and a raycast from my gun object that decreases their health. For some reason, no matter which clone I hit, it only decreases the health of the last clone created. Also, even when the last clones health drops below zero, it doesn't destroy itself as my code says it should.

The code for the spawner:

 public class Spawner : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public GameObject prefab;
     public GameObject clone;
 
     public int maxEnemies = 10;
     public int enemies = 0;
 
     void Update()
     {
         if(enemies < maxEnemies){
             clone = (GameObject)Instantiate(prefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
             enemies += 1;
         }
     }
 }

The code for the enemy:

 public class Mutant : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public Character player;
     public Transform enemyTransfrom;
     public Spawner spawner;
 
     public float speed = 10f;
     public float maxDis = 0.5f;
     public float minDis = 1.5f;
     public float health = 10;
     public bool dying = false;
     
     void Update()
     {
         if(health > 0){
             transform.LookAt(player.transform);
             
             if(Vector3.Distance(enemyTransfrom.position, player.transform.position) > minDis){
                 enemyTransfrom.position += enemyTransfrom.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime;
                 speed = 30f;
 
                 if(Vector3.Distance(enemyTransfrom.position, player.transform.position) <= maxDis){
                     speed = 10f;
                     fighting = true;
                 }else{
                     fighting = false;
                 }
             }
         }else{
             dying = true;
             speed = 0f;
             fighting = false;
         }
     }

 public void Die(){
     Object.Destroy(spawner.clone);
     spawner.enemies -= 1;
 }

When dying is true, it starts an animation that runs the function die() at the end of it.

Finally, the code for the raycast:

     private Vector3 direction; 
 
     public Transform shootPoint;
     public Transform blaster;
     public Transform shotTarget;
 
     void Update()
     {
         direction = shotTarget.position-transform.position;
         Debug.DrawRay(shootPoint.position, direction, Color.red);
         RaycastHit hit;
         Ray beam = new Ray(blaster.position, direction);
         if(Physics.Raycast(beam, out hit, 1000)){
             if(hit.collider.tag == "Enemy"){
                 enemy.health -= 10;
             }
         }

I've been struggling with this for a while and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In the Die fuction you should do Destroy(this.gameobject).

public void Die() { spawner.enemies -= 1; Destroy(this.gameobject); } In this case you destroy this gameobject when its health is less than 0.

Also, in the raycast script, you can try something like this:

if(hit.collider.tag == "Enemy") { hit.collider.tag.gameobject.GetComponent Mutant().health -= 10; } For some reason, you can't type "greater" or "less" signs over here, but you should do: if(hit.collider.tag == "Enemy") { hit.collider.tag.gameobject.GetComponent "less sign"Mutant"greater sign"().health -= 10; }

In this case you deal damage only to the enemy that you hit. This only works if all gameobjects with Enemy tag have Mutant script attached. If not all gameobjects with Enemy tag have Mutant script attached, you can either check if the hit gameobject has Mutant script attached, or you can put another tag on enemies that don't have Mutant script attached.
