Tile Tick Movement / Component Reference

Script Reference

UnitViewMotor.cs

Presentation-only component that consumes VisualMoveSegments to smoothly interpolate and rotate a unit model.

PresentationMovementAnimation

Overview

UnitViewMotor makes movement look smooth while MovementMotor remains authoritative. It consumes queued VisualMoveSegments and interpolates the transform between tile centers.

This component is safe for animation and visual polish. It should not be treated as the source of gameplay position.
