Vector3.Slerp

static function Slerp (from : Vector3, to : Vector3, t : float) : Vector3

Description

Spherically interpolates between two vectors.

Interpolates from towards to by amount t. The returned vector's magnitude will be interpolated between magnitudes of from and to.

t is clamped between [0...1]. See Also: Lerp function.

// Animates the position in an arc between sunrise and sunset.

function Update () {
// The center of the arc
var center = (sunrise.position + sunset.position) * 0.5;
// move the center a bit downwards to make the arc vertical
center -= Vector3(0,1,0);

// Interpolate over the arc relative to center
var riseRelCenter = sunrise.position - center;
var setRelCenter = sunset.position - center;
transform.position = Vector3.Slerp(riseRelCenter, setRelCenter, Time.time);
