Where's point 4?

Also, you're using translate wrong. Have a read of the function in the docs. Specifically what it does and how the parameter that it takes affect it.

[north jackal]

point4 is that circle in the image

it is a vector3

[north jackal]

I have already read it

I have also used transform.translate before but it was all using a normalized vector

[mellow acorn]

Do you understand the difference between position and direction?

[north jackal]

so it has to be normalized?

but why can't the vector 3 be a direction?

or should I use rb.MovePosition();
@mellow acorn

it does move to the point in my other experiences

or maybe you can tell me what's wrong and how to fix it

[mellow acorn]

It can.

Position is also a direction. A direction from the world origin to the target position.

[placid flame]

So translate is moving towards direction. what you want is just change position and use something like
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp()

[north jackal]

what does that Lerp method do?

[north jackal]

so vector3.distance?

[placid flame]

Lerp changes position from one to another smoothly

[north jackal]

so it's like translate but it moves towards a vector3

[placid flame]

you will see it moving smoothly. Lerp is linear transformation, also there are slerp and etc

[north jackal]

wait......
can I pass in a transform in transform.Translate?

like transform.Translate(transform * speed * Time.deltaTime);

[placid flame]

If you want move dot from point A to point B, then you need to use lerp.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.Lerp.html

If you want to make object to move specific direction for specific amount of time, you use Translate.

[north jackal]

I don't want it to teleport,I just want it to move towards it

[placid flame]

Lerp does eactly what you want.

[north jackal]

that's why I added * Time.deltaTime

[north jackal]

ok

[placid flame]

transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startMarker.position, endMarker.position, fractionOfJourney);

this example eplains it best. you give start position, end position, and time in which you want that object to reach the final position. so it will not be teleportation.

[north jackal]

is there any way that I can use transform.Translate ?

[honest rune]

What are you actually trying to do? Move towards another position at a speed?

[north jackal]

correct

[honest rune]

Then use MoveTowards

transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPosition, Time.deltaTime * maxSpeed);
