Smooth Movement with set distance
So I want my character to move forward a set distance with a button press (this will be switched to a key press but I can manage that code switch) but right now, the character just kinda teleports instead of it being a smooth glide. I wasn't sure if I needed to add Time.deltaTime for the smooth transition or not so this is what I have so far:
UPDATE 11/16: So I changed the formatting of the code to use Vector3.Lerp but I'm still not getting a smooth movement for some reason. I even tried to adjust the speed and nothing has really worked out yet.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class BattleMovement : MonoBehaviour {
public Transform targetPos;
public void MoveSquare () {
var obj = GameObject.Find ("GameObject");
targetPos = obj.transform;
targetPos.transform.Translate (0, 0, 100);
obj.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(obj.transform.position,
targetPos.position, Time.deltaTime * 2);
}
}
Try using interpolation;
public float transitionSpeed = 2f;
public void MoveSquare ()
{
float x = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * 15.0f;
float z = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") * 50.0f;
GameObject obj = GameObject.Find ("GameObject");
obj.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (obj.transform.position, new Vector3 (0, 0, z), Time.deltaTime * transitionSpeed);
}
Note You are using a mix of C# and JavaScript syntax, which isn't a great idea generally speaking.
It's not doing what I wanted it still. I need the Gameobject to move a set distance (z + 100) and have it move smoothly with one press of the button. With your code, it only moves a bit forward and is also now moving on the X axis, which isn't needed.
$$anonymous$$y code works but it's more of the gameobject teleports ins$$anonymous$$d of sliding to the new location.
