I want to Auto Move my character to following object, instead of keyboards controls, my code works fine on keyboards controls, I am trying to add a target as a gameobject and trying to character to follow it, "dummy" is variable is my public var, where I assign my target as a gameobject", here is my code so far,

protected virtual void UpdateMovement()

{

  // var local = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Vector3.right + Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Vector3.forward;

  //works fine at keyboards controls

  var local = new Vector3(0,0,0); 

  local = dummy.transform.position - transform.position; //  I tried this but did'nt work

  transform.LookAt(dummy.transform);

  var movement = new CharacterMovement();

  movement.Direction = getMovementDirection(local);



  if (WalkWhenZooming && _controller.ZoomInput)

  {

    movement.Magnitude = 0.5f;

    movement.IsSlowedDown = true;

  }

  else

  {

    if ((_motor.ActiveWeapon.Gun != null || _motor.ActiveWeapon.HasMelee) && FastMovement)

    {

      if (Input.GetButton("Run") && !_motor.IsCrouching)

        movement.Magnitude = 2.0f;

      else

        movement.Magnitude = 1.0f;

    }

    else

    {

      if (Input.GetButton("Run"))

        movement.Magnitude = 1.0f;

      else

        movement.Magnitude = 0.5f;

    }

  }

  _controller.MovementInput = movement;

}

It doesn't work doesn't mean much. Is it crashing, showing an error, not moving, moving somewhere else than expected?

I assume the local variable is a direction (so why not name it direction ?). The way you compute it seems correct. You can simplify the code by replacing

var local = new Vector3(0,0,0); 

local = dummy.transform.position - transform.position;

with

var local = dummy.transform.position - transform.position;

If it works with the keyboard, most of your code must be correct. If your character moves way too fast, you can try normalising the direction vector

local = (dummy.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;

If it doesn't move or show an error, maybe the dummy isn't set properly. Do you see the expected position if you do

Debug.Log(dummy.transform.position)

Edit: You can also try to see if the direction is correct by adding

Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, transform.position + local)
