So you can simplify the method by removing the zoomAmount variable.
The value of Input.mouseScrollDelta.y can only be three possible values, -1f, 0f, and 1f. All you need to do is check if the scroll wheel has moved if it has, move the target position by the value of Input.mouseScrollDelta.y.
If you wanted to increase the steps between the offsets you could scale Input.mouseScrollDelta.y(see comment).
I also check if the transposer has reached the target. I don’t know how much it affects performance but I don’t like the idea of constantly updating variables that don’t need it.
Note: My offsets are Vecor3’s. I want to play around with moving the z value as well.
