sterile wedge
Hey all. I'm trying to implement some camera smoothing/interpolation. Here are the relevant chunks of code:
public void OnLook(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
camAngleTo = Quaternion.Euler(0, context.ReadValue<Vector2>().x/* * (mouseSensitivityX * .01f)*/, 0);
}
void Update()
{
camPivot.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(camPivot.transform.rotation, camAngleTo, .01f);
}
This is currently what's happening. Any ideas?

I'm not great with the smoothing though, so not sure how to help with that

I imagine you tried Google, but no good answer out of it?
jaunty ridge
i think free library on asset store called DOTWEEN would help you there
sterile wedge
Did a couple hours of looking at the documentation, and of other similar functions for vectors/quaternions
sterile wedge
i think free library on asset store called DOTWEEN would help you there
don't wanna use assets
jaunty ridge
then use IEnumerator? COROUTINE
public void OnLook(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
croutineName(camAngleTo);
}
sterile wedge
I would really just like a standard solution
I should just be able to put code in Update to do the equivalent to a coroutine
Right?
jaunty ridge
IEnumerator is part of unity but if want above example to work.
you need if basically.
Lerp works on % based, 0-1, you need to pass it start position, end position and percentage, so above example
over time is amount of time over which cam will move, timer as default needs to be higher than overTime
this should work in your example and you can optimize if statement
i did this below my code so throw all kinds of error

<#854851968446365696> on how to post code
how do you type that upper dot/slash, can do only ¸¸¸this, i use EU keyboard and cant find it
sterile wedge
So why do I need time in this solution?
jaunty ridge
It should be above your tab key
yeah that produces ¸¸¸¸
sterile wedge
rip eu lol
jaunty ridge
So why do I need time in this solution?
you need timer to tell lerp at which stage of lerp method it is, lerp is just SIN line
chrome pilot
yeah that produces ¸¸¸¸
If you've a mouse or keyboard that can support macros/keybinds, use that
jaunty ridge
between start and end point, and you tell it give me 0.4 position which is 40% into transformation
sterile wedge
Can't you just do that by passing to it a value that has changed since last lerp call?
So that way it'll be further along?
chrome pilot
just copy
```cs
```
into it
jaunty ridge
just copy
\```cs
\```
into it
dont have
sterile wedge
just look up tilde everytime you need it
chrome pilot
Well just keep it in a fokin notepad and copy that each time lol
sterile wedge
or move to us
jaunty ridge
Can't you just do that by passing to it a value that has changed since last lerp...
i dont really understand, you need time over which it will move like 2f in this case
and something to measure how much time passed since start
jaunty ridge
Hey all. I'm trying to implement some camera smoothing/interpolation. Here are t...
if you change 0.1f in your code to 0.4f you will see difference
sterile wedge
Lerp returns a value from one value to another by a maximum amount right?
jaunty ridge
by a maximum amount? might be that i dont understand english well enough? cant really get what youre saying
jaunty ridge
never tried going over, like 150% of lerp but dont see reason why it shouldnt do that
thats why if is there
sterile wedge
I'm not saying to go over
If I did a lerp from 0 to 10 with .1, it would return 1, right?
And if I did .5 it would return 5, right?
sterile wedge
Ok so
If on every Update run, I increment the lower number, I should be able to smoothly interpolate to 10 with time
Even if I keep the ratio (the .1 or .5 in that example) the same
Unless I'm missing something in my idea
jaunty ridge
yeah but in that case your interpolation varies depending on fps
for example if at start you have 60 and at end 20 fps
your interpolation slows down at end but will look smoother i think
sterile wedge
Could I just multiply it by Time.deltaTime?
jaunty ridge
well yeah
sterile wedge
Or whatever that thing is that people do
jaunty ridge
your would still need 1 variable since you dont know last point
sterile wedge
I do know the last point cuz the player moved their mouse to a certain end angle
jaunty ridge
and would still need to hard code second one in if statement
sterile wedge
Right?
jaunty ridge
so you want to get player camera and see where along the lerp line it is to get % of how much it moved?
i think this would be much easier if you just tried what you want to do.
you know what method works, mine
now just modify it how you think it should work
change something and run it
sterile wedge
That's how my code is :(
My code is how I thought it would work
It even works as you see, it just returns back to the starting spot which I don't understand
jaunty ridge
update if changes rotation every update like yours, without if can cause lots of jittering, also your just moves it to 10% of the way right away and keeps it there
