Using RigidBody.AddForce instead of directly changing Transform

Unity Engine
1

So having collision issues whe simply updating the transfom.position of my gameObject (with a RigidBody component) like so

(pseudo code)
targetGameObjectTransform.position = targetXposition;

My question is, how would I change this so that instead I am using RigidBody.Addforce ?

It’s not that easy.

How much time do we have to move this body ? (one frame ?)
What should be the speed of a body when it is in targetXposition ?

If you want to do it in one frame (physics frame) than:

dTime = Time.fixedDeltaTime
targetXPosition = currentPosition + velocity * dTime +0.5 * acceleration*dTime^2

Solve it for “acceleration” and use it with AddForce ForceMode.Acceleration

Using add force is totally different qpproach to player control, use rigidbody.MovePosition .

Thanks. Yes rigidbody.MovePosition seems to be working.
