so, unknown complexity, i think performance, and target is kind of a bs subject for this, as i don’t think it technically matters. I have a distinct issue, and i’m going to try to give all the relevant info for it, so here it goes.
quick description: when I begin play, i have a number of enemies that are to spawn after a certain amount of time, which works fine. I had this problem before, and changing my update of time.deltatime into fixed update solved it, but i’m not using that for this one. when they spawn, they are instantiated to spawn in a specific direction, specifically spawner point 1’s direction. some of them in the order start not doing that.
Edit: Maybe the question was too implied, so here it is: why is it doing this, and/or does anyone know how to solve it?
that shows what i mean, sometimes it’s one, sometimes every other one.
all relevant code (that i’m aware of):

}

if (Time.time > spawnStart)
{
if (counter < ships.Length)
{

//clone.transform.position = spawnerPoints[0].transform.position;

public float speed;
public float rotspeed = 1f;
float waypointDistance = 0.5f;
// Start is called before the first frame update

public void AssignWayPoints()
{

for (int i = 0; i < waypoints.Length; i++)
{
points[i] = waypoints[i].transform.position;
}
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (points.Length > 0)
{
// i need current wp to be a number form 0 to length -1
wpTarget = points[currentWP];
Debug.Log(currentWP);
if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, wpTarget) < waypointDistance)
{
if (currentWP == waypoints.Length - 1)
{
}
else
{
currentWP++;
}
}

}
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
rb.velocity = transform.forward * speed;
}
void TurnTowardWayPoint()
{
if (wpTarget - transform.position != Vector3.zero)
{
Quaternion lookatWP = Quaternion.LookRotation(wpTarget - transform.position);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, lookatWP, rotspeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
}now, i say this is all the relevant code, because i’m reasonably sure after checking multiple times that these are the only actual scripts running in the scene.
i can see no reason that any of the ships should spawn in any direction except what the first spawn points direction is, and for reference to that…
small edit: there appears to be some small lag spike when one spawns off angle, but only in editor, no spike in a build.
