[SOLVED]Photon Smoothing Player Movement

xXGriMe · June 2015

So im stuck right now and cant figure out whats going on here. I have a script called PhotonViewer that is basically responsible for enabling player components and writing and receiving player positions. Everything works great i can have more than 1 player join and both clients are able to observe each other just fine. However when a player moves is very choppy/laggy for the other player observing the movement. So i added code to smooth the player but it seems to have no effect at all. Can someone take a look at the code and see if you can help me out here. I was loosely following the merry fragmass tut found here http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/...i ... ayer-fps-2

PhontonViewer.cs

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PhotonViewer : Photon.MonoBehaviour {
    Vector3 position;
    Quaternion rotation;
    float smoothing = 10f;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start ()
    {

        PhotonView pv = PhotonView.Get(this);
        if (pv.isMine)
        {
            GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("MainCamera").GetComponent&lt;AudioListener&gt;().enabled = true;
            GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("MainCamera").GetComponent&lt;Camera&gt;().enabled = true;
            GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("MainCamera").GetComponent&lt;MyMouseLook&gt;().enabled = true;
            GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Player").GetComponent&lt;CharacterController&gt;().enabled = true;
            GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Player").GetComponent&lt;CharacterMotor&gt;().enabled = true;
            GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Player").GetComponent&lt;FPSInputController&gt;().enabled = true;


            print (PhotonNetwork.player.ID);

        }
        else
        {

            StartCoroutine("UpdateData");

        }


    }


  
    IEnumerator UpdateData()
    {
        while(true)
        {

            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, position, Time.deltaTime *  smoothing);
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, rotation, Time.deltaTime *  smoothing);

            yield return null;
        }
    }

    public void OnPhotonSerializeView(PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info)
    {
        if(stream.isWriting)
        {
            //print ("writing");
            stream.SendNext(transform.position);
            stream.SendNext(transform.rotation);

        }
        else
        {
            //print ("reciving");
            position = (Vector3)stream.ReceiveNext();
            rotation = (Quaternion)stream.ReceiveNext();

        }
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update ()
    {

    }
}

The issue was fixed by removing the player transform from being observed.
