Moving a Camera or Enemy from point to point using Empty GameObject located around the scene

This lesson covers how to create a script that can be attached to any object with a Rigidbody andhave the object move to any GameObject items on a Scene.

Create the following script PathFinder

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Pathfinder : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform[] locations;
    public float speed;
    private int targetLocationIndex;
  
    void Start() { }

    void Update()
    {
        if (transform.position != locations[targetLocationIndex].position)
        {
            Vector3 nextLocation = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, locations[targetLocationIndex].position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
            GetComponent<Rigidbody>().MovePosition(nextLocation);
        }
        else targetLocationIndex = (targetLocationIndex + 1) % locations.Length;
    }
}

Attach the script to the object (in this example the Main Camera).
