Help using Lerp inside of a coroutine.

Hello all,

Trying to move a gameobject using lerp. The result I’m getting is that the object moves instantly to the required position rather than over time.

    IEnumerator MoveToSpot()
    {
        Gotoposition = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 5, transform.position.z);
        float elapsedTime = 0;
        float waitTime = 3f;
        currentPos = transform.position;

        while (elapsedTime < waitTime)
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(currentPos, Gotoposition, (elapsedTime / waitTime));
            elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
        }
        return null;
    }

Would really appreciate the help!

You need to yield within that While loop:

while (elapsedTime < waitTime)
{
     transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(currentPos, Gotoposition, (elapsedTime / waitTime));
     elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;

     // Yield here
     yield return null;
}  

// Make sure we got there
transform.position = Gotoposition;
yield return null;
