Question by tiffany811205 · Apr 27, 2014 at 07:43 AM · transformsmoothmove speed

gameobject translation problem

Hi

I haved created a button that can create a random number.I want to make a game that after I press the button, my gameobject moves units with the random number. But the script that I write let my gameobject move suddenly. This is not what I want. I want my gameobject moves smoothly and slowly. Please tell me how to modefy.:(

 var label:String;
 var num:int;
 var speed:float = 10.0;
 
 
 function ChangeNumber(){
         num=UnityEngine.Random.Range(1, 6);
         label=num.ToString(); 
         Move();
     }
 
 function OnGUI(){
         if(GUI.Button(new Rect(20, 240, 50, 50), label))
             ChangeNumber();
     }
 
 function Move(){
         transform.Translate(Vector3(speed,0,0) * num * Time.deltaTime);
     }



Thanks:)

You're going to want to use Lerp I imagine :)

 var label:String;
 var num:int;
 var speed:float = 10.0;
 var targetPosition:Vector3; 
  
 function Start() {
 
 targetPosition = transform.position;
 
 }
 
 function ChangeNumber(){
        num=UnityEngine.Random.Range(1, 6);
        label=num.ToString(); 
        targetPosition = Vector3(num, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
     }
  
 function OnGUI(){
        if(GUI.Button(new Rect(20, 240, 50, 50), label))
          ChangeNumber();
     }
  
 function Update(){
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, targetPosition, speed*Time.deltaTime);
     }


Simply change the speed value in the inspector for varying speeds of smooth movement!

Oh and another thing, if you want it to move an additional amount of units based on its currrent location just change:

targetPosition = Vector3(num, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);

to:

targetPosition = Vector3(transform.position.x + num, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);

Do you drag this code on your gameObject? There isn't a function to call your function what you have writen.

Yes,I have dragged my code on my gameobject. $$anonymous$$y gameobject can move, but it moves suddenly to the destination. It's not what I want. I want it to move smoothly:(
