Object Click Movement

Unity Engine
1

Ok so, I am trying to keep an object moving forward, but when the player clicks the object will move on the x axis +2 or -2 yet remain moving forward. So basically, no matter what the player object is moving forward, then when you click the player will move on the x position either +2 or -2 depending on the last click. So if the last click the player moved +2, the next they move -2. I tried with an if/else, and I really cant figure it out. Please help. Thanks

This is my code: It continuously moves left or right and wont return back to forward

public float speed;

private Vector3 dir;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

dir = Vector3.zero;

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
if (dir == Vector3.right)
{
dir = Vector3.left;
}
else
{
dir = Vector3.right;
}
}

float amountToMove = speed * Time.deltaTime;

transform.Translate(dir * amountToMove);
}

Make sure to use code tags:

public float speed;

private Vector3 dir;
private float offset;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
       dir = Vector3.forward;
       offset  = 1;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    Vector3 moveDir = dir;
 
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
               moveDir += offset*Vector3.right*2;// *2 to make it to +2/-2
              offset = -offset;
     }
     moveDir *=  speed * Time.deltaTime;


    transform.position +=moveDir;
}

Now this code lerps the movement to +2/-2 if you want them to instantly telport change it to this:

public float speed;

private Vector3 dir;
private float offset;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
       dir = Vector3.forward;
       offset  = 1;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    Vector3 moveDir = dir;
    Vector3 xDir = Vector3.zero;
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
               xDir = offset*Vector3.right*2;// *2 to make it to +2/-2
              offset = -offset;
     }
     moveDir *=  speed * Time.deltaTime;
     moveDir += xDir;

    transform.position +=moveDir;
}

Thank you so much, it works. Really appreciate it
