Interpolation on the PredictionManager holds a number of states in queue as interpolation while NetworkObject interpolation handles graphical smoothing after running states. A prediction interpolation of 0, be it client or server setting, means that states would be run soon as they are received. Most games will not use 0 interpolation as it's generally best to have at least 1 state in queue to compensate for latency. For every 1 interpolation added is like adding latency to when spectated states are run, equal to (interpolation \* TickDelta). For smoothing graphical objects beneath your NetworkObject see [NetworkTickSmoother](/docs/fishnet-building-blocks/components/tick-smoothers/networkticksmoother.md). This component allows you to configure how the object is interpolated for owner and spectators. Under the scenario your TickSmoother graphical had a set spectator interpolation of 2 and your PredictionManager an interpolation of 1, the spectated graphical object would take 2 ticks to get to it's goal after the PredictionManager ran the state 1 interpolation later than receiving it. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://fish-networking.gitbook.io/docs/guides/features/prediction/interpolations.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
