Updating transform position in update causes objects to overlap

Hi,

I am having trouble with my game, I am updating object positions using transform.position each frame.
And check if the position is free using raycasting before moving them.

Yet i am having object going into the same tile...
My guess is positions don't actually get updated until all updates having been done.

Is this correct? Are there methods of solving this problem?

 

if i have any issues within Update checks, then always test with LateUpdate
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.LateUpdate.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html

 

Didn't help, the two objects still move into the same tile.

 

those are physics objects? then how about FixedUpdate()
and moving the rigidbody instead of transform.

Or if its grid movement, the unit could reserve the spot (from array that keeps track of taken cells)

 

No physics just raycasting to check for collisions.
I was afraid this would be the answer, to make an array to hold all cell contents.

Was really hoping i could force the transform position to take effect immediately, That would probably have been a simpler refactor.

Thanks for the help!

 

To answer my own question, after adding an array to keep track of taken cells which introduced a bunch of new bugs.

I found out there is a project setting, that makes transform.position update immateriality...

 

What setting?
