Calculate speed needed to get from one point to another in exactly 1 second.

How can I do this?

 

speed = distance / time

 

velocity = distance / time

 

Take two positions, PStart and PEnd.
Take the difference PEnd - PStart and you'll get POffset.
Take POffset's magnitude (which is the distance): that's your base value to combine with any further timing...

Now, any further logic depends on what you wanna do with it.

In theory, you'll need the constant speed of distance units to reach your target position in 1 sec.
If you move it with that speed, you'll be moving 3600*distance units per hour.
You could also scale the value to anything you'd like. If you want to move the distance in 1 hour, you'd move with distance/3600 units per second instead.

Another way to look at it:
Suppose your game runs at exactly X FPS, and you wanna reach the target in 1 Sec: you need to move at a speed with distance/X units per frame, i.e. if you were running the game at constant 60 FPS, you'd have a speed of 0.1666666... units / frame (in this scenario a frame takes = 1/X seconds).

However, in practice that doesn't help alot, because you're usually not running at an ideal constant frame rate. So, you'd use the distance as speed per X seconds and move your objects at distance/X and multiply that value with Time.deltaTime, in order to compensate the differences in frame time.

 

Don't forget to search Unity answers and the forum first. Here's one I found using Lerp: https://answers.unity.com/questions/296347/move-transform-to-target-in-x-seconds.html
