Move every step

Unity Engine
1

So I have an object and I want it to move towards a vector, whose coordinates I stored as a float (lets call it destiny). I want the object to move towards that vector every step, but only if two conditions are met.

I searched for some function that let me move an object every step, but I just found transform.Translate (Vector3.direction). As you see, I need the movement to be a little more specific.

I know there’s a function in JS called MoveTowards, but I’m using C#. I searched for a code for moving objects and I found something about coroutines, and I’m a little bit afraid of jumping onto that.

I don’t have any code, as I couldn’t find a way to move the object, but I can still give you an idea of what I got:

Vector2 float destiny = Vector2(xcoordinates,ycoordinates)

void Update()
	{
		if (firstcondition)
		{if (secondcondition)
			{
		         move object towardsdestiny;
			}
		}
	}

Basically, I need something to replace “Move obect towards destiny”. As you can see, I’m using Vector2 so I don’t care about ‘z’. Thanks!

Edit: obviously, this code is attached to the object I want to move

C# or Javascript don’t differ that much on this issue.

You can use Vector2.MoveTowards. Just google it and you will find plenty of sollutions. Also, no need for a coroutine if you place it in Update().

Thanks! I’ve searched for Vector2.MoveTowards, the code doesn’t give me any errors, but the object doen’t move. I think that what is actually moving is just the Vector, not my object. Is that possible?

Did you tell it which object you want to move?

Hum… nope? Well I don’t know, where should I do that?

OK it seems I figured out how to move my object, but it’s not working as it should. I don’ know why, but the object doesn’t move gradually towards my vector, it just jumps there. But the worst thing is that it jumps towards a vector really far away from it’s origin. It doesn’t make sense, as the object is a child of another and uses small coordinates like 1 or 2. Help please! This is my code right now:

        Vector2 posStart = new Vector2(-0.4f,0.4f);
	Vector2 posEnd = new Vector2(0f,0f);
	public float movSpeed = 1;

	

	void Update()
	{
		if (Input.GetKey("f"))
		
			{
				transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(posStart,posEnd,movSpeed);
			}
	
	}

Here, posStart is where my object is and posEnd is the vector it should move towards to. every step “f” is pressed it should move towards that vector.
