Lerp in direction to certain distance
Quick question: How can I lerp an object in a certain direction, to distance amount, at a certain time, at local position?
public bool shift;
public Vector3 direction = new Vector3(0.7f, -0.7f, 0);
public bool speed = 2; // seconds
public float distance = 0.25f;
private float lerpTime;
void Update() {
if (shift) {
Vector3 lerpTo = // Lerp at direction to distance.
lerpTime += Time.deltaTime / speed;
transform.localPosition = Vector3.lerp(Vector3.zero, lerpTo, lerpTime);
if (transform.localPosition == lerpTo) {
lerpTime = 0;
shift = false;
}
}
}
Silly me! It was simpler than I thought. Vector3 lerpTo = direction * distance;
Took me a while to figure this out even though the answer is so simple after you know, but if you want to be able to Lerp to a specific distance in any direction, you simply set the Float in the Lerp to the desired distance divided by the distance between two objects.
Vector3 point = Vector3.Lerp(obj1.transform.position, obj2.transform.position, desiredDistancFloat/(Vector3.Distance(obj1.transform.position, ob21.position)));
If you're simply trying to find out how far to go in a certain direction, you would simply create a Vector3 with that distance in one of the 3 axis.
Vector3 lerpTo = new Vector3(distance, 0, 0); would be .25 in the x. You can replace 0 with distance if you desired, too, to make the object go diagonal.
is this what you're wanting?
Not really. I'm trying to lerp to direction Vector3(0.7f, -0.7f, 0) at distance 0.25.
