Moving a sprite

Questions & Answers
1

There is a sprite object that I would like to move from its initial position to a new position. Here is something that I tried but it is not moving from its initial position.

public Vector3 target;
public float speed;
private Vector3 position;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
	target = new Vector3 (5, 5, 0);
	position = gameObject.transform.position;
	float speed = 1.0f;

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
	float step = speed * Time.deltaTime;
	transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, step);
}

Some directions would help. Thanks!

When declaring the speed float as a attribute of your class, the default value is 0

In the Start function you declare a new speed variable, you do not set the value of the class’ attribute.

In the Update function, speed is still equal to 0, so does step, thus, your object is not moving.

Change float speed = 1.0f for speed = 1.0fin the Start function
