Controlling Lerp Movement Speed

Questions & Answers
1

Hello, I’ve been trying to create a script for my Tile Based movement game where the Player moves to a selected destination tile when you click on it, and it navigates to it via Dijkstra pathfinding. The problem I have it that instead of moving directly from the start tile to the end tile at a constant speed, it stops at each tile in the path until it reaches the destination. Furthermore, it moves incredibly quickly wheras I want it to move at a speed that I choose but for some reason that is not working. Here is a segment of my script with movement Lerp.

            float i = 0.0f;
		float rate = 1f / 0.001f;

		if (i < 10f) {
			i += Time.deltaTime * rate;
		        if (Vector3.Distance (transform.position, map.TileCoordToWorldCoord (tileX, tileZ)) < 0.001f)
				AdvancePathing ();
		transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, map.TileCoordToWorldCoord (tileX, tileZ), i);

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Up until now I had a method on boost button which activated coroutines. In one of the coroutines - ,ResetSpeed" at the end of boost i took away player’s speed by simply writing:

player.speed -= loadJson.LoadedBoostPower; // where LoadedBoostPower is the value of boost, like 5f

But of course it is an instant jump. How to make it smooth, like make it gradually lose speed over 3 seconds? I tried this but does the same thing as the previous one:

player.speed -= Mathf.Lerp(loadJson.LoadedBoostPower, -loadJson.LoadedBoostPower, 0.2f);

I assume I need a variable to save starting speed, before boost is applied, and then make coroutine come back to that original speed, right?
