Click to Move Object till it reaches a certain place

Questions & Answers

Hi, So I have a Gameobject that I want to move slowly when I click it until it reaches a certain place, so far I got this:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Moving_Planks : MonoBehaviour {


	public Transform targetpos;
	public float Speed = 3f;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {

	}

	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () 
	{
		
	}
	public void MovePlanksToPlace ()
	{
		while( this.transform.position != targetpos.transform.position)
		{
			float step = Speed * Time.deltaTime;
			transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards (transform.position, targetpos.position, step);
		}
	}
}

But when I click it, it just moves in one step, I’d like to be slowly until it reaches the place.

I might be approaching this on the wrong side, so I’d be grateful if you could guide me to the correct path

thank you

I’m sort of confused still on what you’re wanting. These are the scenarios I’m picturing:

  1. The object jumps ‘increments’ each time you click
  2. The object slides ‘increments’ each time you click
  3. The object slides to the target the first (and only) time you click

For the first option, you could do:

public Transform targetPos;
public int increments;
float incrementDistance;

void Start() {
    incrementDistance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, targetPos.position) / increments;
}

void Update() {
    if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) JumpIncrement();
}

void JumpIncrement() {
    transform.position += (transform.position - targetPos.position) * incrementDistance;
}

For the 2nd scenario you could try something like:

public Transform targetPos;
public int increments;
public float speed;
float incrementDistance;

void Start() {
    incrementDistance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, targetPos.position) / increments;
}

void Update() {
    if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) JumpIncrement();
}

void JumpIncrement() {
    transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, transform.position + (transform.position - targetPos.position) * incrementDistance, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}

And the 3rd:

public Transform targetPos;
public float speed;

void Update() {
    if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) GoToTarget();
}

void GoToTarget() {
    transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, targetPos.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}

Sorry, I get confused easily. Do any of these help you?
