Smooth network communication like Unity remote
Hi
I am sending very little data from an iPhone(client) to the computer(server) over the network: A float which has the iPhone's acceleration.x variable. I am using this for rotating a plane. However the rotation is not very smooth. It is very shaky as if there was some delay in the communication.
I am using Slerp to make the rotation more fluent always using the newest input. However it doesnt help much. If I use the Unity remote instead the communication is completely smooth eventhough its actually sending more data.
How can I acheive a similar solution?
I found a solution which gives a nice result. By observing a script on the network view which send the iPhone input from the device to the computer and setting state synchronization to unreliable, Slerp can be used. The plane should always be rotating in the direction from the last received input. However this will only work nicely if the send rate is set to something low, for instance 5-10 which will assure that the rotation is not updated constantly which will give the "lag".
