Hi All,
I’m very inexperienced in coding and unity. I’m trying to move gameobject by reading csv or txt file. Basic circle or rectangle is enough for the beginning. I would be happy if you helped me.

I found this code on the web but it moves on one way forever:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.IO;

public class CSVFIleReader : MonoBehaviour

    public GameObject Cube;
    public TextAsset csvFile;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        readCSV();
    }

    void readCSV()
    {
        string[] records = csvFile.text.Split('

‘);
for (int i = 1; i < records.Length; i++)
{
string array = records*.Split(’,');*
var pos = new Vector3(float.Parse(array[0]), float.Parse(array[1]), float.Parse(array[2]));
}
}
Text file:
speed,x,y,z
1,0,0,1
1,0,2,1
1,0,4,2

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class CSVFIleReader : MonoBehaviour
{
    private struct Step
    {
        public float speed;
        public Vector3 destination;
    }
    public Transform Cube;
    public TextAsset CsvFile;
    private List<Step> steps;
    private int currentStep = 0;

    void Start()
    {
        ReadCSV();
        Cube.position = steps[0].destination;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if((Cube.position - steps[currentStep].destination).sqrMagnitude < 0.1f)
            currentStep = (currentStep + 1) % steps.Count;

        Cube.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(Cube.position, steps[currentStep].destination, steps[currentStep].speed * Time.deltaTime);
    }

    void ReadCSV()
    {
        steps = new List<Step>();
        string[] records = CsvFile.text.Split('

‘);
for (int i = 1; i < records.Length; i++)
{
string array = records*.Split(’,');*
steps.Add(
new Step()
{
speed = float.Parse(array[0]),
destination = new Vector3(float.Parse(array[1]), float.Parse(array[2]), float.Parse(array[3]))
}
);
}
}
}

Hi @Hellium thanks for the latest answer.

What should be added to code in order to read and take the position of the line:
Children (0):
Static Translation: (15.0503, 34.1802, -118.183)
from the whole text?

another one: what if there is a had or something of the object must look at the side of the movement? can be adjustable?

Hi @Hellium it works super nice. Do you know how to rotate one side of the object into movement side?
