MonoBehaviour.LateUpdate() in Unity 5.5

from: Unity 5.x By Example by Alan Thorn

The LateUpdate  function is always called after all the FixedUpdate  and Update  calls, allowing an object to modify its position before it’s rendered to the screen.

from: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.LateUpdate.html

  • LateUpdate  is called every frame, if the Behaviour  is enabled.
  • LateUpdate  is called after all Update  functions have been called. This is useful to order script execution.
  • For example, a following camera should always be implemented in LateUpdate  because it tracks objects that might have moved inside Update .
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    void LateUpdate() {
        transform.Translate(0, Time.deltaTime, 0);
    }
}
