Mathf.MoveTowards

static function MoveTowards(current: float, target: float, maxDelta: float): float;
static float MoveTowards(float current, float target, float maxDelta);
static def MoveTowards(current as float, target as float, maxDelta as float) as float

Parameters

currentThe current value.
targetThe value to move towards.
maxDeltaThe maximum change that should be applied to the value.

Description

Moves a value current towards target.

This is essentially the same as Mathf.Lerp but instead the function will ensure that the speed never exceeds maxDelta. Negative values of maxDelta pushes the value away from target.

var currStrength: float;
var maxStrength: float;
var recoveryRate: float;

function Update() { currStrength = Mathf.MoveTowards(currStrength, maxStrength, recoveryRate * Time.deltaTime); }

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    public float currStrength;
    public float maxStrength;
    public float recoveryRate;
    void Update() {
        currStrength = Mathf.MoveTowards(currStrength, maxStrength, recoveryRate * Time.deltaTime);
    }
