Move gameobject from point a to point b smoothly

Question

Hello there fellow unity community members, i've been trying to make a drawer in a dresser to move out (or to open) when interacted with, but when i tried animation the animation never played so now im using this code below to open the drawer. But it's opening in a blink of an eye, i want it to open realistic, like using lerp or something but i dont know how and all the other feeds about this question is really difficult to understand. Thanks

Goal: The drawer needs to be opened slowly or smooth instead of just teleporting.

 #pragma strict
 
 var OpenDrawer : OpenDrawerJS;
 var OpenDrawerPosition : Transform;
 
 function Start  ()
 {
     OpenDrawer = GameObject.Find("Player").GetComponent(OpenDrawerJS);
 }
 
 function OpenDrawer23333 ()
 {
     Debug.Log("OpenDrawer");
     gameObject.transform.position = OpenDrawerPosition.transform.position;
     OpenDrawer.DrawerIsOpen = true;
 }

This question has been asked a lot from before:

You can use MoveTowards().

 public float speed;
     void Update() {
         float step = speed * Time.deltaTime;
  transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, OpenDrawerPosition.transform.position, step);
     }

You have to give us more details, like what didn't it work? Do you have any errors? If you do then what are they?

You should provide which values you use for speed ins$$anonymous$$d of copying and pasting the documentation.

You should use IEnumerators (or are you using unity script?) example:

 public Transform pointA;
 public Transform pointB;
 public float speed = 5f;
     void Start()
     {
         transform.position = pointA.position;
         StartCoroutine(move());
     }
     
     
     IEnumerator move()
         {
             while (transform.position != pointB.position)
             {
                 Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, pointB.position, speed);
                 yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
             }
         }
