I have wrote the following shape code, but i'm having some difficulties regarding how it works. I want to be able to track the shape of the object whilst the object is moving, but at the moment the code below only tracks the shape of the object whilst the object is standstill and why whilst it is moving very slowly. Anyone knows any modifications i can make to the code to make it track objects moving quite fast? Thanks very much in advance.
