Camera Shaking Over Networking

Unity Engine
1

So, I have a client and server with an object that shares a networkview.

The server shows a first person view from the object, and the client has a camera with 2 different camera modes (but, that’s not important).

The server is fine, but the client camera shakes. Here is my code (I hacked it together from 2 scripts from Unifycommunity SmoothFollow2 and SmoothLookFrame):

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class StationCamera : MonoBehaviour {
	
    public bool boolean = true;
	
        // Smooth Follow Variables
        public Transform target;
        public float distance = 3.0f;
        public float height = 3.0f;
        public float damping = 5.0f;
        public bool smoothRotation = true;
        public bool followBehind = true;
        public float rotationDamping = 10.0f;
	
        // Smooth Look Frame Variables
        public Transform lookAtTarget;
        public Transform frameTarget;
        //public float distance = 10.0f;
        //public float height = 5.0f;
        //public float damping = 2.0f;
        private Vector3 direction;
        private Vector3 wantedPosition;
        // Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		if (boolean) {
			// Smooth Follow Code
			if(followBehind)
				wantedPosition = target.TransformPoint(0, height, -distance);
			else
				wantedPosition = target.TransformPoint(0, height, distance);
     
        	transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, wantedPosition, Time.deltaTime * damping);

        	if (smoothRotation) {
				Quaternion wantedRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(target.position - transform.position, target.up);
				transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp (transform.rotation, wantedRotation, Time.deltaTime * rotationDamping);
         	}
			else 
				transform.LookAt (target, target.up);
			}
		else {
			if (!lookAtTarget || !frameTarget)
			return;
 
        	direction = (frameTarget.position - lookAtTarget.position);
        	wantedPosition = frameTarget.position + (direction.normalized * distance);
 
       		wantedPosition.y = wantedPosition.y + height;
       		transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, wantedPosition, damping * Time.deltaTime);
 
       		Quaternion rotate = Quaternion.LookRotation(lookAtTarget.position - transform.position);
	   		transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotate, Time.deltaTime * damping);
		}
	}
}

The only thing that works is turning the damping and rotationDamping variables up to about 500, but then I lose the smoothing effect when I change camera modes. Any help would be appreciated, I’ve tried changing the the state synchronization type, and changing Update to LateUpdate to no avail.

Also, related to the shaking is another script I want to use that shakes.

It’s called ObjectLabel.

You will need to look into lag compensation, if it’s going over the network.

This may not be it but I had some problems with multiple cameras in the scene - unity doesn’t know which camera to use as they all have the same depth. fixed by adding a network view to the camera and this code to the top of the script:

if(!networkView.isMine) {
gameObject.active = false;
}
