Move an object to Input.Touch location

Hey all,

I'm trying to set up my code so that an (petal)object will float towards (and eventually circle) the point of Touch.Input.

My method is -

1) Determine if the input is a touch or press by using a timer. 2) If the input is a press, then I use a RayCast / triggerbox to find the touch coordinates as a Vector3.

3)Instantiate a game object called "attractor" at the hit point. If the attractor is within a certain distance of my petal, then the petal floats over to the attractor's position.

Here is the code:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Flick : MonoBehaviour {
 
 public GameObject attractorPrefab;    
 public GameObject exploderPrefab;
 public GameObject petal;
 
     
 public float holdCount;
 public float holdSpeed;
 public float coolDown;
 public float speed;
 public float startTime;
     
     
 float swipeSpeed;
 float inputX;
 float inputY;
     
 
 public int count;
 public int tapCount;
 public int doubleTap;
 
     
 public bool pull;
 public bool holdState;
 public bool attractorPresent;
     
 public    Vector3 hp;
     Vector3 startPosition;
     Vector3 touchPosition1;
     Vector3 touchPosition2;
     Touch touch;
         
     void Start () 
     {
         count = Input.touchCount;
         
         petal = GameObject.Find("petal");
         //attractorPrefab = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Attractor");
         attractorPresent = false;
         holdCount = 0.0f; //determine whether input is a tap or hold
         pull = false;
         startTime = Time.time;
         
         holdState = false;
         holdSpeed = 0.001f;
         speed = 0.5f;
         
         coolDown = 0; //input delay counter
     }
 
     void Update () 
     {
         coolDown -= Time.deltaTime;
         if (coolDown < 0)
             coolDown = 0;
         
         int i = 0;
         
         if((Input.touchCount > 0) && (coolDown == 0))
         {
             holdCount +=Time.deltaTime;
             if(holdCount > 0.7f)
             {
                 holdState = true;
                 //determine position of input
                 Ray ray = camera.ScreenPointToRay(new Vector3(Input.GetTouch(0).position.x, 
                                                               Input.GetTouch(0).position.y,
                                                               0));

And the Attractor.cs -

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Attractor : MonoBehaviour {
     
     Flick flick;
     
     public GameObject petal;
     
     public bool holdState;
     
     Transform target;
     
     public float speed;
     public float distance;
     
             Vector3 endPoint;
     private Vector3 startPoint;
     
     private float startTime;
     
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () 
     {
         Debug.Log("Attractor has entered the building.");
         
         petal = GameObject.Find("petal");
         
         GameObject MainCamera = GameObject.Find("Main Camera");
         
         endPoint = transform.position;
         startPoint = petal.transform.position;
         startTime = Time.time;
         
         flick = MainCamera.GetComponent<Flick>();
         holdState = flick.holdState;
         
         speed = 5.0f;
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
         distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, petal.transform.position);
         
         if (distance <= 5)
         {
             petal.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, flick.hp, Time.deltaTime * speed / distance);    
         }
         
         if((Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Moved) || (Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Ended))
         {
             AttractorDestroyer();
         }
         
         
     }
     
     void AttractorDestroyer()
     {
         DestroyObject(this.gameObject);
     }
 }

Now the problem I get is that the petal won't stop at the point that I've touched. It continues to advance. I imagine that the problem is that my raycast is coming from my MainCamera and the main camera's transform.position is tied by a separate script to the petal's transform.position (since I need the camera to follow the petal.)

TO be honest, I'm not sure how to fix this. I need the petal to float over to the point that has the hold input (and then circle around that point.) Any suggestions on how I can do this?

Thanks for the time!
