Question by GamezAtWork · Jan 16, 2011 at 03:41 PM · collisionlerpwaypoint

Making a Lerp + Collisions waypoint system?

Is there a way to make an object Lerp from point to point while colliding into objects on the way and reacting like a regular CharacterController?

This is as my current waypoint system, which consists of making the character face the next waypoint and .SimpleMove towards it, until it reaches a particular distance (really tiny), is facing a dire problem where if there is too much lag, the character might end up spinning around the waypoint forever as it keeps overshooting the required distance. Thus, I thought that Lerping it from point to point would be a better idea, but that would mean that it would not collide with the terrain, something that I need...

Can anyone help me?

I had a similar problem. I now check that the character has reached the waypont 'near enough' by getting the magnitude of the difference between waypoint and character positions, and checking that for a small non-zero amount.

Ah, thats what I do. Although the issue is that when the game lags enough, your character will constantly "miss" the required distance, and thus will keep looping around the area...
