Move GameObject over time

by

gjttt1’s answer is close but is missing important functions and the use of WaitForSeconds() for moving GameObject is unacceptable. You should use combination of Lerp, Coroutine and Time.deltaTime. You must understand these stuff to be able to do animation from Script in Unity.

public GameObject objectectA;
public GameObject objectectB;

void Start()
{
    StartCoroutine(moveToX(objectectA.transform, objectectB.transform.position, 1.0f));
}


bool isMoving = false;

IEnumerator moveToX(Transform fromPosition, Vector3 toPosition, float duration)
{
    //Make sure there is only one instance of this function running
    if (isMoving)
    {
        yield break; ///exit if this is still running
    }
    isMoving = true;

    float counter = 0;

    //Get the current position of the object to be moved
    Vector3 startPos = fromPosition.position;

    while (counter < duration)
    {
        counter += Time.deltaTime;
        fromPosition.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPos, toPosition, counter / duration);
        yield return null;
    }

    isMoving = false;
}
