The Vector3.Lerp method performs a linear interpolation between two vectors, a and b, based on a given fraction frac. This method is useful for smoothly transitioning between two points in 3D space.
The interpolation is calculated as:
result = a + (b - a) * fracIf the clamp parameter is set to true, the frac value will be clamped between 0 and 1, ensuring the result does not exceed the bounds of a and b.
To use the Vector3.Lerp method, provide two Vector3 instances representing the start and end points, a float value for the interpolation fraction, and a bool indicating whether to clamp the fraction.
This method is static and can be called directly on the Vector3 class.
Vector3 start = new Vector3(0, 0, 0); Vector3 end = new Vector3(10, 10, 10); float fraction = 0.5f; bool shouldClamp = true; Vector3 result = Vector3.Lerp(start, end, fraction, shouldClamp); // result is (5, 5, 5) if clamped, otherwise it could be outside the range if fraction is not between 0 and 1.
