Object sometimes stops after drag, instead of sliding?

Hi,

I would like to make the camera slide a little bit more when the touch ends. With this code, the effect works, but sometimes it stops right after the second attempt. The camera is supposed to slide every time the touch has moved and ends, but it sometimes stops for an unknown reason. Would someone have any idea why?

if (Input.touchCount > 0 ){
	if ( Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Began ) {
		//_doLongMove = false;
	}
	if ( Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Moved ) {
		// Get movement of the finger since last frame
		touchDeltaPosition = Input.GetTouch(0).deltaPosition;
		float speedDrag = 0.2f;
		transform.Translate (-touchDeltaPosition.x * speedDrag, 0, -touchDeltaPosition.y * speedDrag);
	}
	if ( Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Ended ) {
		speed = 0.3f;
		_doLongMove = true;
	}
}
if ( _doLongMove ) {
	doLongMove();
}
		
		
void doLongMove(){
	float slowDown = 0.01f;
	float force = 1.5f;
	if ( speed > 0 ){
		speed -= slowDown;
	}
	if ( speed < 0 ) {
		speed = 0;
		_doLongMove = false;
	}
	transform.Translate (-touchDeltaPosition.x * force * speed, 0, -touchDeltaPosition.y * force * speed);
}

EDIT:

I also tried this, but it stops as well, sometimes 3 times in a row, then it works fine :

if ( wasDragging && Input.touchCount == 0 ){
			speed=0.3f;
			_doLongMove = true;
			wasDragging = false;
		}
		if ( _doLongMove ) {
			doLongMove();
		}

Thanks

You should try a Mathf.Lerp that takes the current speed and lerps it to zero over time. That way you can have it slow to a halt.
I would also use iTween.
