Moving an object towards a position not working properly

June 18, 2022

I have written a code to get a random transform from my list pathPoints and move my object based on that transform, but what it is doing is getting multiple transforms and trying to move everywhere at once. I want the object to move at one position then get a new position and move there then repeat.

Here is the code:-

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

public class PathFinder : MonoBehaviour

[SerializeField] List<Transform> pathPoints;
[SerializeField] Transform pathPrefab;
[SerializeField] float moveSpeed = 10f;
[SerializeField] bool isMoving = false;
[SerializeField] bool isH_Attacking = false;
Animator anim;
Transform defaultWayPoint;
Transform currentTargetPoint;


void Awake() 
{
    anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
    defaultWayPoint = pathPrefab.GetChild(0);
}

void Start()
{
    currentTargetPoint = pathPoints[Random.Range(0, pathPoints.Count)];
    transform.position = defaultWayPoint.position;     
}

void MoveToNextWayPoint()
{
    if(transform.position != currentTargetPoint.position)
    {
        float delta = moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
        transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, currentTargetPoint.position, delta);
        anim.SetBool("isMoving", true);
        isMoving = true;
    }
    GetNextWayPoint();
}

Transform GetNextWayPoint()
{
    currentTargetPoint = pathPoints[Random.Range(0, pathPoints.Count)];
    Debug.Log(currentTargetPoint.position);
    return currentTargetPoint;
}

void Update()
{
    MoveToNextWayPoint();
}

*The script is attached to the gameObject which I want to move.

*This is a 2d project.

>Solution :

void MoveToNextWayPoint()
{
    if(transform.position != currentTargetPoint.position)
    {
        float delta = moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
        transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, currentTargetPoint.position, delta);
        anim.SetBool("isMoving", true);
        isMoving = true;
    }
    else
    {
        GetNextWayPoint();
    }
}
