waypoint script, how to remove lerp easing

[Yanifska]

I have this simple ai waypoint script I just wrote, the slowing down at the end of each segment is annoying, I’d like a linear movement ( or more control of the speed and acceleration).
I read a lot about that problem but couldn’t understand properly how to fix it.

Any help would be welcome, any feedback on the script itself as well.

Thanks

function Update () {

•  transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, curpoint.transform.position, 0.08);*

MoveTowards is often better at this than Lerp. Same general idea, except the last input is the amount to move that frame, so something like SpeedPerSec*Time.deltaTime.

You can hand control the exact speeds. For example this will quickly slow down to 2 meters/sec when you get within 5 meters (I picked a slowdown speed of 8 at random):

// your code computes distance, save it in D:
float d = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, curpoint.transform.position);

if(d<5) { // slow down
  SpeedPerSec -= 8*Time.deltaTime;
  if(SpeedPerSec<2) SpeedPerSec=2;
}

// your old code:
if(d<1) // moveTowards instead of lerp here
