Question A problem in moving objects across a defined path

Hello everyone.
I am trying to create movement along path from one point to another using the following script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class FollowThePath : MonoBehaviour {
4.  
5.     // Array of waypoints to walk from one to the next one
6.     [SerializeField]
7.     private Transform[] waypoints;
8.  
9.     // Walk speed that can be set in Inspector
10.     [SerializeField]
11.     private float moveSpeed = 2f;
12.  
13.     // Index of current waypoint from which Enemy walks
14.     // to the next one
15.     private int waypointIndex = 0;
16.  
17.     // Use this for initialization
18.     private void Start () {
19.  
20.         // Set position of Enemy as position of the first waypoint
21.         transform.position = waypoints[waypointIndex].transform.position;
22.     }
23.    
24.     // Update is called once per frame
25.     private void Update () {
26.  
27.         // Move Enemy
28.         Move();
29.     }
30.  
31.     // Method that actually make Enemy walk
32.     private void Move()
33.     {
34.         // If Enemy didn't reach last waypoint it can move
35.         // If enemy reached last waypoint then it stops
36.         if (waypointIndex <= waypoints.Length - 1)
37.         {
38.  
39.             // Move Enemy from current waypoint to the next one
40.             // using MoveTowards method
41.             transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position,
42.                waypoints[waypointIndex].transform.position,
43.                moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
44.  
45.             // If Enemy reaches position of waypoint he walked towards
46.             // then waypointIndex is increased by 1
47.             // and Enemy starts to walk to the next waypoint
48.             if (transform.position == waypoints[waypointIndex].transform.position)
49.             {
50.                 waypointIndex += 1;
51.             }
52.         }
53.     }
54. }

However, this part is not being triggered no matter what i tried:

Code (CSharp):

1.             if (transform.position == waypoints[waypointIndex].transform.position)
2.             {
3.                 waypointIndex += 1;
4.             }

It only gets triggered when i put it in the update() before the movs function. If i add it after the move function in the update() it never gets triggered and the object never moves just like its original form.

What am i doing wrong here?

 

You're testing floating points for equality. That's what you're doing wrong. They'll never be exactly equal to each other.

Compute distance to waypoing, and if it is below certain threshold, move to the next one.

 

Thank you for the feedback... i got it to work by calculating the distance and comparing it to be smaller than a certain value.
