Resolved How to continue movement beyond a given vector (Overshoot)

So i have this object moving to a vector3. How can i make it say overshoot it so it will keep moving in the same line(direction) but past this vector. here is what i Use.

Code (CSharp):

1.   transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, speed*Time.deltaTime);

Thank you for your time.

 

Hi, you'd want to get a direction, then you can move in that direction using transform.Translate. At least that's one way.

direction = target position - current position.

Here's one that starts at the object's position, moves it towards world 0,0,0 and keeps going in the same direction.

edit: Should probably normalize it too, which I forgot in the code below.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class MoveTheThing : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.     public Vector3 direction;
6.  
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.         Vector3 start = transform.position;
10.         Vector3 target = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
11.         direction = (target - start);
12.     }
13.  
14.     void Update()
15.     {
16.         transform.Translate(direction * Time.deltaTime);
17.     }
18. }

 

that was it Thank you some times the littlest things can drive me crazy to figure it out Lesson learned

 

yep, you should

Code (csharp):

1. direction = (target - start).normalized;

 

Somehow it is off the exact point and moves in a straight line but not getting over the exact Vertor3 any ideas why ?

 

Are you comparing two Vector3 for equality? Like

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector3 targetPosition;
2. if(transform.position == targetPosition)
3. {
4. Debug.Log("hit")
5. }

This will likely never work. Vector3 contain 3 float variables. Floats are imprecise.
You need to test if it is close enough instead.

Code (CSharp):

1. if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, targetPosition) < 0.01f)
