Point A to B trail

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve been trying to do this for a while, all the information I can find doesn’t help, maybe I’m looking in the wrong place.

I have the player and in the menu there are buttons with different places. What I wanted to do is when the player clicks in one of the buttons a trail appears that leads the player there.
Any help?

If you want to move the player from one point to another there are a few different ways of going about it but the best would be to use Vector3.lerp

	public Transform startMarker;
		public Transform endMarker;
		public float speed = 1.0F;
		private float startTime;
		private float journeyLength;
		void Start() {
			startTime = Time.time;
			journeyLength = Vector3.Distance(startMarker.position, endMarker.position);
		}

		void Update() {
			float distCovered = (Time.time - startTime) * speed;
			float fracJourney = distCovered / journeyLength;
			transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startMarker.position, endMarker.position, fracJourney);
		}

Attach this code into a script on your object and give it the starting and ending positions, you can also add a ‘trail renderer’ component to show a trail on the object.
