Finding covered distance of a gameobject

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to check if a platform has reached a specific distance relative to its starting/original position. For achieving this objective I used the following code snippet but it doesn’t seem to work.

float maxMoveValue = 10;
float originalXpos = transform.position.x;

        if(transform.position.y == originalYpos + maxMoveValue)
		{
			maxVertical = true;
		}

I have also tried it this way:

 Vector3 originalVector = new Vector3(originalXpos + maxMoveValue, 0f, 0f);
       if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, originalVector) ==0 )
		{
			maxHorizontal = true;
		}

But this also doesn’t work.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

I have found the culprit but don’t know why is this happening and what can be the solutioin?

Problem:

Actually the float addition is not working properly. if a = 22.3519; & b = 10; result = a +b; is resul = 22.35190

It might be that you’re using ‘==’ rather than ‘>=’ or ‘<=’.

‘==’ will only be true if the two values are the same; however, this is rarely the case when dealing with the position of moving objects.
