Question about moving an object technique
So i'm trying to move my player specific amount of units in a direction. Let's say i want to move my cube to the right with 2 units but, i want it to slide it to that position, not to teleport. I've tryied several methods but my player just teleports and i don't want that. I'm guessing that i should use the Lerp function but i don't really know how it works.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class cube : MonoBehaviour {
Vector3 tag;
int speed = 2;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
tag = new Vector3(transform.position.x + 2, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, tag, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
@dxddda4 you can also use Lerp instead of MoveTowards in the same way. Diffrence is that Lerp will slow down approaching target.
Thanks, but what i needed was something like this: When you press down the key d , the cube should slide 2 units. So if i add an if structure at line 14 the cube just teleports to that position. Sorry if i wasn't too specific.
You can use the following coroutine. Call it with
StartCoroutine( MoveObjectToPosition( transform, target_position, 1.0f) );
Code:
IEnumerator MoveObjectToPosition( Transform trans, Vector3 end_position, float duration )
{
Vector3 start_position = trans.position;
float elapsed = 0.0f;
while( elapsed < duration )
{
trans.position = Vector3.Lerp(start_position, end_position, elapsed / duration );
elapsed += Time.deltaTime;
yield return null;
}
trans.position = end_position;
}
Alternatively check out the free assets LeanTween or iTween which do the same and much more.
