Hi everyone,
basically I have to small problem. I have a player that whenever touch a specific object changes speed. Now, how can I reset his speed after seconds please?
mmhh I have partially solved the problem but I got it
Perhaps a cleaner method is to use a retriggerable delay:
I found this out recently and it has made my graph much cleaner than using timers with handles
Timers are more accurate than Delays in low fps situations. Meaning the event calling the Delay is frame reliant, whilst Timers have their own internal tick and loop. Thus @ClockworkOcean example will work “more accurately” in low FPS scenarios.
@Rev0verDrive this is good to know. I suppose I should rework these. But I noticed personally, neither delay or timers are much use in low-FPS situations .
You may never see a difference in your usage. How well timers and delays work depends on the efficiency and performance of the product.
There is a simple test that can be done to show some inaccuracy.
An event triggered by delay, 4 times per 0.016sec with max 10 fps lock will trigger 3 times.
An event triggered by timer, 4 times with a loop triggering each 0.016sec with max 10 fps lock will trigger 4 times.
The delay will lose 1 trigger event.
