I am currently storing an ever growing series of positions in a table, From the Most recent [1] to the earliest entry [n] I know that the time between registering each of these positons will always be X

To smoothly lerp between them, I am using the Heartbeat element of RenderStepped which gives us a delta time. Using the delta time, knowing that time between positions will always be X, what should I be doing?

Code looks like this;

	totaldt = totaldt+dt--/X
	if totaldt > X then--if its over the deisred amount, we don't need
		totaldt = X-totaldt -- gives us a number thats <0>
	end
	if pos~=positions[1] then --If we changed our first entry (shifted all by one)
		pos=positions[1]
		total = X-totaldt
	end
	local t = totaldt/X -- exists between 0-1 (or slightly outside, but never massively.)

What are you trying to do?

as said in the question, I am trying to smoothly lerp between points. From Positions[2] to Positions[1]

It is impossible to know that the time between each entry is exactly "X" - 'wait' doesn't wait that reliably. I can't decipher what you're trying to do, though, so I can't recommend a solution. (Idk if this would help, but) have you considered summing the delta times from Heartbeat together?
