How to make object move toward target, then toward another target?
I have an object that I'm trying to make move toward another object, then back to the original position. I have two gameobjects set-up as target, but with this code it moves toward the object then never returns. The targets are public Transform variables.
I would assume the problem is that the position will never be exactly even with the target position because the speed variable is 20f, but how can I trigger the change of direction without knowing exactly where the object will end up after the animation completes?
if (isMoveUpAndDown)
{
target = upTarget;
float step = speed * Time.deltaTime;
testObject.transform.position =
Vector3.MoveTowards(testObject.transform.position, target.position,
step);
if (testObject.transform.position == target.position)
target = downTarget;
}

instead oftestObject = downTarget;you probably meantarget = downTarget;(in the last line... ) and you should place thetarget = upTarget;(3rd line) somewhere else.

Check if the two positions are closer thanstep(before moving) and turn around if that is the case.
