public static function Lerp(a: Vector3, b: Vector3, t: float): Vector3;
public static Vector3 Lerp(Vector3 a, Vector3 b, float t);

Description

Linearly interpolates between two vectors.

Interpolates between the vectors a and b by the interpolant t. The parameter t is clamped to the range [0, 1]. This is most commonly used to find a point some fraction of the way along a line between two endpoints (e.g. to move an object gradually between those points).

When t = 0 returns a. When t = 1 returns b. When t = 0.5 returns the point midway between a and b.

    // Transforms to act as start and end markers for the journey.
    var startMarker: Transform;
    var endMarker: Transform;

// Movement speed in units/sec. var speed = 1.0;

// Time when the movement started. private var startTime: float;

// Total distance between the markers. private var journeyLength: float;

function Start() { // Keep a note of the time the movement started. startTime = Time.time;

// Calculate the journey length. journeyLength = Vector3.Distance(startMarker.position, endMarker.position); }

// Follows the target position like with a spring function Update () { // Distance moved = time * speed. var distCovered = (Time.time - startTime) * speed;

// Fraction of journey completed = current distance divided by total distance. var fracJourney = distCovered / journeyLength;

// Set our position as a fraction of the distance between the markers. transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startMarker.position, endMarker.position, fracJourney); }
