Moving GameObject to various position ?

Question

Hello

I have a gameobject that I want to move to various position in scene like a pinball. The GameObject is a balloon and I want to move left, right, top and down randomly in scene.

How can I do this ?

Obviously, start by creating a script. You can change position of an object by performing:

 private Vector3 moveVector;
 void Update(){
  moveVector = Vector3.up;
  transform.Translate(moveVector*Time.deltaTime);
 }

where by "moveVector = Vector3.up" you set where to move.

 private float refreshCooldown;
 private const float maxCooldown=1F;
 private Vector3 moveVector;
 void Start(){
 moveVector=Vector3.zero;
 }
 void Update(){
 refreshCooldown-=Time.deltaTime;
 if(refreshCooldown<0F){
 moveVector.x = Random.Range(-1F,1F);
 moveVector.y = Random.Range(-1F,1F);
 moveVector.z = Random.Range(-1F,1F);
 refreshCooldown=maxCooldown;
 }
 transform.Translate(moveVector*Time.deltaTime);
 }

That way it will go in absolutely random direction with changing it each second.

Btw, you can use Random.insideUnitSphere too but I have no idea how hard it is on allocations.
