Unity Frame Rates and object movement
I'm curious about finding a better processing solution to this. I'm still in my early infancy of programming, and have been using unity for a few days now.
My question:
What is the most efficient way to buffer an object that moves based off a Time.time cycle.
I have an object which travels a fixed distance. It is then shifted on the y-axis by a preset amount.
The problem with this; there is an extremely small amount of time in which the object resets on path1, before being directed onto path2.
I've been able to account for this using co-routines...but when I get to to a tolerance of about 0.01s it's processing dependent and can sometimes fail.
Definitely over-complicating the explanation...so I hope someone smarter than me can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
