Use Mathf.Lerp for real-time updated values

[albsloth]

So I have a float called “val” that will get an updated value every 10 seconds. This value is sent in from another system via an open sound control.
I want to use Mathf.Lerp between each value so that it lerps between the previous value and the next value within 10 seconds to avoid a sudden jump from, say, 0.1 to 0.5. Is there anyway to use lerp between 2 values if they constantly change?
Thank you!

val=Mathf.Lerp(previous,current,(Time.time%10)/10);

You may want to use your own timer instead of Time.time so then it’s better in sync with your input data.

Smoothing movement between any two particular values:

Beginner - need help with SmoothDamp

The problem is the choice of integer values for lanes. They can only either be lane 0, 1 or 2. They can’t be in between round numbers. It needs to be a floating point value so that it can be between lanes. This type of question comes up so universally I have finally just made a sample package to demonstrate the basic concept. Read my first post above and see if you can correlate each part of the code to the steps indicated. Code located here: SmoothMovement.cs · GitHub 6430100–719246–SmoothMo…

You have currentQuantity and desiredQuantity.

• only set desiredQuantity
• the code always moves currentQuantity towards desiredQuantity
• read currentQuantity for the smoothed value

Works for floats, Vectors, Colors, Quaternions, anything continuous or lerp-able.
