Help with Character movement on click (I want "blocky walk")

I have a problem with getting the right positioning system to work with my character.

Lats say we have a pintA(X=0, Y=0, Z=0) and a pointB(X=10, Y=0,z=10). So I want my character to go from point A to point B. I have this code (Javascript):

var smooth:int; //This I have set to 10 in editor
 
private var targetPosition:Vector3;
 
function Update () {
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0))
    {
        var playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, transform.position);
        var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
        var hitdist = 0.0;
       
        if (playerPlane.Raycast (ray, hitdist)) {
            var targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
            targetPosition = ray.GetPoint(hitdist);
            var targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetPoint - transform.position);
            transform.rotation = targetRotation;
        }
    }
   
   transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPosition, Time.deltaTime * smooth);
}

Now, this code works fine and does exactly wat it’s supposed to do (move the character slowly to were you pressed with the cursor). However, its not really what I want. This script makes it so that wen the character moves from PointA to PoinB it walk diagonally to point B. I want to do it in a more “blocky” way. So that the character maybe first walks to pointB’s X then turns and moves to PointB’s Z and Finally if it can, then move to pointB’s Y. I would really appreciate answears and even more if the answear could be in javascript :slight_smile: (however I do understand C but the rest of the game is in javascript… so… yeah)

Ok Updated Code:
var smooth:float;
var mode:int;

private var targetPosition:Vector3;

function Update () {
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0))
    {
        var playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, transform.position);
        var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
        var hitdist = 0.0;
        var hit: RaycastHit;
        
        if (playerPlane.Raycast (ray, hitdist)) {
        	targetPosition = Vector3(ray.GetPoint(hitdist).x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
        	if (transform.position == targetPosition)
        	{
        		targetPosition = Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, ray.GetPoint(hitdist).z);
        	}
        }
    }
    transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards (transform.position, targetPosition, smooth);
}

This time the character does what I want except One thing, you have to click two times for it to do so. Can anyone help me with getting this right?
