Remote controlled boat

Hi everyone !

I'm working on a personal project using Unity
The goal of my project is to make move a boat, thanks to a network communication.

I send via socket an object called "wave" and this object contains properties which will allow me to make move the boat.

Here is how i processed to receive data via socket :

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. //Network.cs
3. public static void ReceiveDataCustom()
4.     {
5.         print("Connecting to remote endpoint ... ");
6.  
7.         client = new UdpClient(port);
8.         while (true)
9.         {
10.             try
11.             {
12.                 IPEndPoint anyIP = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Broadcast, port);
13.                 print("Listening on " + port + " port ... ");
14.                 data = client.Receive(ref anyIP);
15.                 int size = data.Length;
16.                 IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(size);
17.                 Marshal.Copy(data, 0, ptr, size);
18.                 wave = (waves)Marshal.PtrToStructure(ptr, typeof(waves));
19.                 Marshal.FreeHGlobal(ptr);
20.                 resetPos();
21.             }
22.             catch (Exception err)
23.             {
24.                 print("NOT CONNECTED: " + err.ToString());
25.             }
26.         }
27.     }
28.  

As u can see, at the end of my method i call resetPos() method.
It allows to set the starting position as current position,
and the futur position is set to wave.y which is send via socket

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. //Network.cs
3. public static Vector3 positionDeDepart;
4. public static Vector3 positionDArrivee;
5. static float t = 0F;
6. static void resetPos()
7.     {
8.         positionDeDepart = positionDArrivee;
9.         positionDArrivee.y = (float)wave.y;
10.         t = 0F;
11.     }
12.  

So now i get a data called "wave" with properties.
Here is my properties :

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public struct waves
3. {
4.     public double x { get; set; }
5.     public double y { get;
6.     public double z { get; set; }
7.  
8. }
9.  

Then now i need to apply this coordinates to my boat.

Into the gameLoop Update() I the MoveTanker() method which allow to make my boat move.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. //Network.cs
3. static float tempsTotal = 0.0240F;
4. //Boat.cs
5. void MoveTanker()
6.     {
7.         t = Network.getT();
8.         t += Time.deltaTime;
9.         tempsTotal = Network.getTempsTotal();
10.         transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(Network.getPositionDeDepart(), (Network.getPositionDArrivee()), t / tempsTotal);
11.     }
12.  

Until now there is no problem !
But ! As u saw it, i only make move my boat on the y axis, and If I try to make move my boat on the x axis to, it doesn't work, let me explain.

When the boat move on Y axis the movement is linear, there is not any "lag", but if make it move on y axis AND x axis there is like some lag ...


Is there a way to fix it ?
Thanks all !
