rigidbody.MovePosition result makes no sense

Questions & Answers

Using rigidbody.MovePosition for a pathing script but the results that occur make no sense.

Simplified script of the problem

void FixedUpdate()
{
    print("position" + rigidbody.position);
    rigidbody.MovePosition(new Vector3(-365.0f, 8.9f, 130.0f));
}

Returns this,

position(-365.0, 9.0, 130.0) // Initial position of object before a move
position(-365.0, 9.6, 129.9) // Random? postion after first move
position(-365.0, 8.9, 130.0) // Position it was meant to move to

I can’t understand why it flies off to some weird value for 1 iteration then goes to value it’s meant to.

Completely empty scene except a camera and 1 rigidbody with a script with the above code.
It oscillates on the spot between the correct position and 0.7 higher.

Only thing I can think of is there is something wrong with my exported model.

If there’s nothing in the way and the rigidbody isn’t interacting with anything else, it will go to the position specified. Clearly you have some other object(s) it’s interacting with. If you want an object to go to a specific position without any collisions, use transform.position and no rigidbody.

Turning on interpolation seems to have (pretty much) solved it for me. Very minor jitter around point, but doesn’t go opposite direction at start.
