Lerp Movement + Input

[opal fossil]

Hey, I am working on character movement for my game and I am trying to set up a Point A to Point B movement system using Lerping. The desired outcome is for the character (small white dot) to move from circle to circle in about a quarter or half a second, however, it instead teleports rather than shiftly moves and I don't understand why since I used a Youtube video as a reference to Lerping

Here is my code that I have worked on (ik it is messy)

public class PlayerMovement : Player
{
    [SerializeField] private Rigidbody2D hitbox;

    private Vector2 startingPos = new Vector2(0, 3);
    int current = 0;
    int next = 1;
    int previous = 3;
    float time = 0f;
    //private ListOfPositions theRoses = new ListOfPositions();

    void Start()
    {
        if (hitbox.position != startingPos)
        {
            hitbox.position = startingPos;
        }
        if (roses.positions.Count == 0)
        {
            roses.AddPositions();
        }
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        PlayerInput();
    }

    public void PlayerInput()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
        {
            StartCoroutine(MovePlayerToNextPosition());
        }

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
        {
            StartCoroutine(MovePlayerToPreviousPosition());
        }
    }

    public IEnumerator MovePlayerToNextPosition()
    {
        while (time < 1)
        {
            hitbox.position = Vector3.Lerp(roses.positions[current].position, roses.positions[next].position, time);
            time += Time.deltaTime * 0.25f;
        }
        time = 0;

        next++;
        current++;

        if (next > roses.positions.Count - 1)
        {
            next = 0;
        }
        if (current > roses.positions.Count - 1)
        {
            current = 0;
        }
        yield return null;
    }

    public IEnumerator MovePlayerToPreviousPosition()
    {
        while (time < 1)
        {
            hitbox.position = Vector3.Lerp(roses.positions[current].position, roses.positions[previous].position, time);
            time += Time.deltaTime * 0.25f;
        }
        time = 0;

        previous--;
        current--;

        if (previous < 0)
        {
            previous = 3;
        }
        if (current < 0)
        {
            current = 3;
        }
        yield return null;
    }
}

The while loops you have are doing nothing btw

[opal fossil]

was one of the things I took directly from the video

[slender zealot]

the entire contents of those loops will run to completion in one frame

as you don't yield inside of them

They yield inside of the loops

[opal fossil]

checking something

realizes I put the yields outside

brb

adding StopCoroutines rq since it is acting weirder now

alright fixed, it turns out I also needed to move the additional logic outside of the While Loop as well (I'll also need to adjust the speed to my liking however but that is an easy fix)

gonna also try to make it more accurate on where it stops (it sometimes stops off center)
