Question

A Copilot-generated C++ camera-follow routine smooths toward the player each frame. QA reports that after a hitch — a one-second asset-streaming stall — the camera teleports across the level and clips through geometry. Review the smoothing code and explain the delta-time misuse that causes the teleport.

1void Camera::Update(float dt) {2    // exponential smoothing toward target3    float t = smoothSpeed * dt;4    position = position + (target - position) * t;5    // also advance recoil offset6    recoil += recoilVelocity * dt;7    LookAt(player + recoil);8}
