How I can make easily this swipe controls?,

Question

As you can see in the code, I made the transform.Translate move to where I wanted and that with the if I can't continue making it go out of the way. How can I make them move smoothly and not appear to be teleporting from one place to another?

 private void OnSwipeLeft()
     {
         Debug.Log("SwipeLeft");
         if (transform.position != new  Vector3(-2f,transform.position.y,transform.position.z))
         {
             transform.Translate(-2f,0,0);
         }
     }
 
     private void OnSwipeRight()
     {
         Debug.Log("SwipeRight");
        if (transform.position != new  Vector3(2f,transform.position.y,transform.position.z))
         {
             transform.Translate(2f,0,0);
         }
     }

There are a number of ways to do this. The cleanest one i can think of is to use a Coroutine that you'd start when you detect that your user has swipped. so instead of

 transform.translate(-2f, 0f, 0f);

You could have:

 StartCoroutine(SwipeToLeft);

with the following function defined:

 private IEnumerator SwipeToLeft(){
      while(/*you've not reached the desired position*/){
           /*
             move a little toward your desired position
             Dont forget to take into account Time.deltaTime so it's not framerate dependant
             You can also multiply by the speed at which you want the swipe to happen
            */
           yield return null;
      }
  }

Hope this helps :)
