Is there a way to move transform.Transl by a certain distance?

Question

 private IEnumerator H(float vx, float vy, float vw)
 {
     vx = vx / 1000;
     vy = vy / 1000;
     vw = vw / 1000;
     while (true)
     {
         transform.Translate((transform.forward * 1) * Time.deltaTime * vx, Space.World);
         transform.Translate((transform.right * 1) * Time.deltaTime * vy, Space.World);
         transform.Rotate((transform.up * 1000) * Time.deltaTime * vw, Space.World);
         yield return 0;
     }
 }

Without using a function like MoveTowards in the code above I want to make it move a certain distance. I tried various methods, but it was not easy

If you want to move it a certain amount instantly, then just use that value in your calculation instead of Time.deltaTime

If you want it to move a certain amount over time, you can keep a simple float distanceTravelled, when moving check how much you moved distanceTravelled += (transform.forward * Time.deltaTime).magnitude + (transform.right * Time.deltaTime).magnitude; And do a simple if on that distanceTravelled to know when to stop.

Alternatively, if you just want smooth movement, I like to use Lerp https://unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=jAN2IoWdPzM

Is there any way to measure the rotation y value like transform.forward? @CodeMonkeyYT
