[SOLVED] Glitching Player

UPDATE: Solved by observing the NetworkPlayer script instead of the transform.

Hello,

I am using Photon to try and create a FPS game. I am having a problem where the other player is position below (under ground) and to the side of where he actually is. The glitching player will quickly move to where it should be, but then quickly glitches through the floor back into its original position.

I must be something to do with the one of the following:

• My NetworkPlayer script. (Updates position and disables components on remote players).
• The way I am instantiating the player.
• The settings in the PhotonView

I am currently using the FPSInputController, CharacterMotor & MouseLook script from Unity's standard assets. I have wrote multiple versions of my own InputContoller and MouseLook scripts aswell as used scripts I found on the internet.

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;

18.         {
