Kind of Lag in movement
Hello there , I have a guarding script in which enemy patrol around specific area and I have provided waypoints to the gameobject but the problem is that it movies like the game is lagging . Its movement is not smooth . I have made a coroutine and did "Startcoroutine" in START() function . Following is my code
IEnumerator FollowWayPoint(Vector3[] waypoints)
{//set the enemy position to first wayPointtransform.position = waypoints[0]; int targetPointIndex = 1; Vector3 targetPoint = waypoints[targetPointIndex]; while (true) { // Make the enemy move towards the target Point. transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPoint, speed * Time.deltaTime); // When Enemy is on the target Point . if(transform.position == targetPoint) { // Increase the targetPointIndex by 1. targetPointIndex = (targetPointIndex + 1) % waypoints.Length; } targetPoint = waypoints[targetPointIndex]; yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitTime); } }
Its probably cause you are using
yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitTime);
and not having it on Update(); , i would reccomend Vector3.MoveTowards having it on Update();.
Hello there,
What @Thaun_ said above is correct. You need to replace yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitTime); with yield return null;.
Now if you want your AI to wait a little when reaching the target waypoint, you would put that yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitTime); line inside your IF statement if(transform.position == targetPoint). That way, when your AI reaches their target, they wait for a while, then start moving to the next target.
Also, in that IF statement I would recommend using a distance check instead of "==", as it may be very imprecise depending on your speed.
I hope that helps!
