Question by qrious_criss · Aug 17, 2016 at 01:26 PM · cameracamera-movementcamera followflickeringflicker

Gameobject flickers on camera follow. Solved but with silly method :/

im making an endless runner game, and everytime I play the game the runner was flickering. But at gameplay when I disable and re-enable the camera follow script component in the camera. the flickering just fixed. so I make a method to disable the camera follow script component at the start of the game and then re-enable it after a certain amount of time just to make the flickers go away. (silly method but works just fine)

I've tried a lot of different way from tweaking the setting to manipulating camera object, but no other solutions. (I even uninstal & re-instal unity ==`)

So I need to know why this is happening, is it a bug? and if there is another solution I'd like to know... I also leave the camera component setting to default.

This is the Player Script

 private CharacterController controller;
 private Float speed = 10;
 private  GameObject camFol;
 private bool moving;
 
 void Start () {
    controller = getComponent<CharacterController> ();
    camFol = GameObject.FindGameobjectWithTag("MainCamera");
    camFol.GetComponent<CameraFollowScript>().enabled = false;
 }
 
 void Update () {
   if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
     controller.Move (vector3.forwad * speed * time.deltatime);
     Moving = true;

  if (Moving)
     camFol.GetComponent<CameraFollowScript>().enabled = true;
 }

& this is the Camera follow Script

 private Transform lookAt;
 private vector3 startPosition;
 
 void Start () {
   lookAt = GameObject.FindGameobjectWithTag("Player").transform;
   startPosition = transform.position - lookAt.position;
 }
 
 void Update () {
   transform.position = lookAt.position + startPosition;
 }

Yeah, what everyone below posted. I'll elaborate as to why for you. What's happening is the scripts are competing against each other basically, it needs to be the FixedUpdate or LateUpdate because this runs after the regular update, if they're running at the same time it's like you camera is trying to follow something that hasn't fully moved yet basically.

In Player script put your character movement code in FixedUpdate and in Camera follow script put the code that is updating the position of camera in FixedUpdate too

I had the same problem, but solved it by putting camera code into LateUpdate and Player Script in Update.
