You’ll get a faster response to scripting questions if you post in the scripting forum.

But if you just want to move an object over time:

```auto
var speed = 5.0;

function Update(){
	transform.position.x += Time.deltaTime * speed;
}

```

If you want to move in steps every second or so:

```auto
var delay = 0.0;
var stepTime = 1.0;
var distance = 5.0;

function MoveBySteps(){
	transform.position.x += distance;
}

function Awake(){
	InvokeRepeating("MoveBySteps", delay, stepTime);
}

```

When you say it displays the image improperly, what exactly is going wrong?
