Moving an Object to a random position
Hi
I was trying to move an object to a random X position not to teleport
the code: void Update () { timer += Time.deltaTime * timerSpeed;
rand = Random.Range (-4.5f, 4.5f);
if (timer >= timeToMove){
newPosition = new Vector3 (rand, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, newPosition, speed);
timer = 0;
}
and I tried this too :
void Update ()
{
timer += Time.deltaTime * timerSpeed;
rand = Random.Range (-4.5f, 4.5f);
if (timer >= timeToMove){
newPosition = new Vector3 (Mathf.Lerp (transform.position.x, rand), transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
transform.position = newPosition;
timer = 0;
}
and tried using (Lerp, SmoothStep) on both and still it teleports to the position
and is there a way to do that in the animator
can use some help please and thanks :D
Best Answer
You have to add Time.delta time like this:
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, newPosition, Time.deltaTime * speed);
Thats it
Calling Random.Range() in update will cause a random value to be called every frame. You dont want that. You want it to be called only once.
public float speed = 2.0f;
public float xPos;
public Vector3 desiredPos;
void Start()
{
xPos = Random.Range(-4.5f, 4.5f);
desiredPos = new Vector3(xPos, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
}
void Update()
{
timer += Time.deltaTime * timerSpeed;
if (timer >= timeToMove)
{
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, desiredPos, Time.deltaTime * speed)
if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, desiredPos) <= 0.01f)
{
xPos = Random.Range(-4.5f, 4.5f);
desiredPos = new Vector3(xPos, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
timer = 0.0f;
}
}
}
How can i complete the script, from the begining?
public float speed = 2.0f;
public float xPos;
public Vector3 desiredPos;
void Start()
{
xPos = Random.Range(-4.5f, 4.5f);
desiredPos = new Vector3(xPos, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
}
void Update()
{
timer += Time.deltaTime * timerSpeed;
if (timer >= timeToMove)
{
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, desiredPos, Time.deltaTime * speed)
if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, desiredPos) <= 0.01f)
{
xPos = Random.Range(-4.5f, 4.5f);
desiredPos = new Vector3(xPos, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
timer = 0.0f;
}
}
}
public float speed = 2.0f; // public float xPos; public float yPos;
public Vector3 desiredPos;
public float timer = 1f;
public float timerSpeed;
public float timeTo$$anonymous$$ove;
void Start()
{
yPos = Random.Range(-0f, 10f);
// xPos = Random.Range(-4.5f, 4.5f);
desiredPos = new Vector3(transform.position.x, yPos, transform.position.z);
}
void Update()
{
timer += Time.deltaTime * timerSpeed;
if (timer >= timeTo$$anonymous$$ove)
{
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, desiredPos, Time.deltaTime * speed);
if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, desiredPos) <= 0.01f)
{
yPos = Random.Range(-0f, 10f);
// xPos = Random.Range(-7f, 4.5f);
desiredPos = new Vector3(transform.position.x, yPos, transform.position.z);
timer = 0.0f;
}
}
}
}
