unity3d - Object keeps falling down

Question

I have an object that moves towards another object using this line :

transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.transform.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);

this is it's attributes:

It doesn't use gravity, kinematic and it's Y position is frozen, but it keeps falling to the floor and colliding with it. How do prevent that and keep it floating ?

Answer 1

transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.transform.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);

You do know that if the target's position is on the ground, then your object's position will also try to match the objects's Y position. You can try to make an object and check all the constraints, and it will still work if you give it a Translate script, because scripts tend to override constraints.

If you want to make your object go to the target, but still keep his Y position, you could just make a new target vector :

new Vector3(target.transform.position.x, this.transform.position.y, target.transform.position.z);

and make this the target, so your objects keeps his Y position since he's already in it, and translates on the XZ-plane instead.
