Question by xJames720x · Feb 07, 2015 at 01:53 AM · c#networkingphotonlerp

Using lerp to smooth network movement causes rubber banding

I have a very simple networking script I use to keep track of the position of my player in game. I am attempting to use Vector2.loop to smooth out the players movements over the network, however this causes the player to rubber band up and down as opposed to moving smoothly. I have no problem directly setting the players position from what I receive over the network, except of course that the movement is not smooth. Am I missing something here?

 void Update () 
     {
         if (!MyPhotonView.isMine)
         {
             transform.position = Vector2.Lerp(transform.position, CorrectPlayerPos, LerpSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
             //transform.position = CorrectPlayerPos;
         }
     }
 
     void OnPhotonSerializeView(PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info)
     {
         // We own this player: send the others our data
         if (stream.isWriting)
         {
             LoadAnimationStates();
             stream.SendNext(transform.position);
           //  stream.SendNext(AnimationStates);
         }
         else  // Network player, receive data
         {
             
             this.CorrectPlayerPos = (Vector3)stream.ReceiveNext();
             //this.AnimationStates = (int[])stream.ReceiveNext();
 
             ApplyAnimationStates();
         }
     }

That script did not work for me either.

Up and down? Sideways it's good?

valaxgames is correct in that interpolation is better than a Lerp in this case.

In your Lerp you are specifying an offset away from the current position and trying to constantly move to that spot. Sound good if you want to give your character Parkinsons.

You should use interpolation instead of this. You can use this script to get decent interpolation.

Can you explain what you mean by "interpolation" here?

Lerp performs (linear) interpolation. So saying that one should use interpolation ins$$anonymous$$d is confusing.
