How to move an object created in SceneKit from one point to another

I have a cube that I created using Scenekit for ios. I want the cube to move from one point to another. How can I do that? I read the Apple documentation on the runAction method. But I do not know how to implement it.

To run an action on an object, you have to create the action first. For moving an object around the scene, create an action like this:

let moveTo = SCNAction.moveTo(SCNVector3Make(1, 1, 1), duration: 1)

This will move the object you run the action on to the point 1, 1, 1.

If you would rather move the object by some value, you can do that the following way:

let moveBy = SCNAction.moveByX(0, y: 1, z: 0, duration: 1)

Then, simply run the action on the object you want to move:

myObject.runAction(moveBy)

You can of course make this shorter and instead of creating a variable for the action, create the action right within .runAction(), but it makes it easier to read sometimes.

Hope that helps :)
