Speed based variables

[ParaToxic]

Hey ya,

I have a question about the functions AppSpeed() and AppTime().So I use right now the AppSpeed() command to make some effects time or speed based ,so it runs with 190 FPS and with 60 equal,but it doesn't.

For example I have this line of code:

weapon->VC3_rotationsmooth.Z = Curve(-0.05 * AppSpeed(),weapon->VC3_rotationsmooth.Z,5.0);

 

It is a simple Effect function for recoil of the weapon.So I had with 190 FPS the value Curve(-0.06....) and everything worked fine,but then I set the Vsync mode and it was only sh**.

The version with * AppSpeed() don't work well ,because it's not equal with 190 FPS , 60 FPS or 40 FPS,so what to do?

 

Is there a way to adjust all values with 60 FPS,so that AppSpeed is 1.0 ,and have the same result at 190 FPs or 40 FPs etc.??

 

Thank you

Curve( targetvalue, currentvalue, divisions/AppSpeed() )

Thanks ,but things like :

_slotManager->_weaponSlot[_slotManager->i_currentSlot]->_currentWeapon->VC3_rotationsmooth.X += VC3_drag.X/3000.0f / AppSpeed();
_slotManager->_weaponSlot[_slotManager->i_currentSlot]->_currentWeapon->VC3_rotationsmooth.Y += -VC3_drag.Y/800.0f / AppSpeed();

 

???? is that right?

I can't tell what you are trying to do.

So there isn't a way to make a macro or something like that and add it allways to the values to have a speed based effect ?

The 2 lines above makes that the weapon going to be draged when the player going to be draged,but divided with 2000 and 800 for a little moving effect.

In most cases you will multiply a value by AppSpeed() to make it time-modulated. In the case of the Curve function, the number being sent to the function is the denominator, so you divide it by the AppSpeed() (in effect, multiplying the numerator by AppSpeed()).

 

I don't understand your question beyond that, but that's how it's meant to be used.

Okey thanks
