I want to interpolate A Game Object between random positions of Other Game Objects. Just Trying to get it take cover in random spots in the game. I’ve tried this but it only moves one tick.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CoverIdentification : MonoBehaviour {
	private GameObject[] cover = new GameObject[5];
	private int n;
	private bool switcher = false;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		cover = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("cover");

	}
	
	void Update()
	{
		
		StartCoroutine (switching ());

	}

	IEnumerator switching()
	{
		if(switcher == false)
		{
			switcher = true;
			n = Random.Range (0, cover.Length);
			Debug.Log (n);
			yield return new WaitForSeconds (3f);
			transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (gameObject.transform.position, cover [n].transform.position,Time.deltaTime);
			yield return new WaitForSeconds (3f);
			switcher = false;

		}
	
	
	}
}

That is because you are calling Lerp method only once. Lerp is a simple method that returns one value after being called.

In my opinion using iTween plugin would achieve your desired effect with no effort.

With the plugin instead of using Lerp you could just do this:

iTween.MoveTo(gameObject, cover[n].transform.position, movementDuration);

This would animate your game object to your desired location with no extra code.
