![red_blue_ball_GIF](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/2X/6/69e077a9f2a1c47c597332ca0c0478b86ab1457c.gif) I have an object1 whose position changes with go.animate. In the update, object1 sets the position of the object2. As a result, the object2 lags behind the object1. ![%D0%91%D1%83%D1%84%D0%B5%D1%80%20%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B0-1](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/2X/e/ebfad2e26c019da9559291382e28caf3ef7f9db2.png) ---

I believe go.animate is calculated/updated in the [“post update phase”](https://www.defold.com/manuals/application-lifecycle/#_the_update_loop) but before rendering but surely someone in Defoldteam can confirm it ---

Defold team, also please explain at what moment physics is updated and sends messages to the game objects? After/before “update phase” or…? ---

The update loop is documented here: [Defold application lifecycle manual](https://www.defold.com/manuals/application-lifecycle/#_the_update_loop) but it probably needs to be clarified. Physics is updated after scripts if I’m not mistaken @sven? ---

What do you have to say about the subject? What to do with the lag? ---

I’d say don’t use go.animate this way. You can use pure Lua tweening library like flux and assign all objects positions at the same time. ---

You can also use [go.set\_parent()](https://www.defold.com/ref/go/#go.set_parent:-id---parent_id---keep_world_transform-) ---

Did I get it right that this is the order of “update”: 1. Calling “update” in all scripts 2. Dispatching messages 3. Updating physics 4. Dispatching messages (due to physics) 5. Updating go.animate animations ---

Almost: DispatchMessages() is called between the update of each component type. And the update order for the first types are: - script - anim - gui - physics - …
