Why wont my object move towards the desired location?
I'm working on a script to cast magic orbs, they instantiate as I would like, and start to move in the desired direction, but they only move a tiny amount before they snap back to their spawnpoint and they just repeat like this. I have used the same line to move used here as I have in another script which moves a different object exactly as I would like. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
public class MagicOrb : MonoBehaviour
{
Vector2 orbTarget;
Vector2 currentPos;
public float orbSpeed;
public GameObject player;
Rigidbody2D rb;
private void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
currentPos = rb.transform.position;
var mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
mousePos.z = 10;
orbTarget = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos);
}
private void Update()
{
rb.MovePosition(Vector2.MoveTowards(currentPos, orbTarget, orbSpeed * Time.deltaTime));
}
}
@LukeThePunk666 Try this:
Vector2 newPosition = Vector2.MoveTowards(rb.transform.position, orbTarget, Time.deltaTime * orbSpeed); rb.MovePosition(newPosition);
I think Vector2.MoveTowards is a little missleading. It will deliver a point that is speed amount from currentPos. It will not deliver anything different if you are not changing currentPos between Updates(). So you need to set currentPos to the new pos each time.
currentPos = rb.transform.position;
rb.MovePosition(Vector2.MoveTowards(currentPos, orbTarget, orbSpeed * Time.deltaTime));
