Resolved Moving an object within a set number of seconds

Hi.

Sorry, this is a very simple question, but it drives me mad. I am trying to move an object from one point to another within a set number of seconds. All the sources that I found on-line point to the following code:

Code (CSharp):

1. IEnumerator MovePlayerMobile(Vector3 targetPosition, float time)
2.     {
3.         _moveAllowed = false;
4.         float elapsedTime = 0;
5.    
6.          while (elapsedTime < time)
7.           {
8.                     transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, targetPosition, (elapsedTime / time));
9.                     elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
10.                     yield return null;
11.           }
12.           transform.position = targetPosition;
13.  
14.         float boundary = 50f;
15.         if (transform.position.x < -boundary)
16.         {
17.             transform.position = new Vector3(-boundary, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
18.         }
19.         else if (transform.position.x > boundary)
20.         {
21.             transform.position = new Vector3(boundary, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
22.         }
23.  
24.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.01f);
25.  
26.         _moveAllowed = true;
27.     }

However, what it really does is moving the object in approximately a second, and then waiting for the remaining time determined by the passed parameter time (the while loop continues by just adding elapsedTime). So, if the time is 5 seconds, for example, the object is being completely moved during 1 second, and then it is holding for 4 seconds. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

 

Found an answer. The transform.position was constantly updated in the while loop to the current one. I copied it into another variable and passed it instead.

Code (CSharp):

1. IEnumerator MovePlayerMobile(Vector3 startPosition, Vector3 targetPosition, float time)
2.     {
3.         _moveAllowed = false;
4.         float elapsedTime = 0;
5.  
6.                 while (elapsedTime < time)
7.                 {
8.                     transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPosition, targetPosition, (elapsedTime / time));
9.                     elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
10.                     yield return null;
11.                 }
12.                 transform.position = targetPosition;
13.            
14.         _moveAllowed = true;
15.     }
