stuff! You have outdone yourself release! Cannot wait to try ‘GetPlaybackPositionInFrames’ . Do you think i could use that to trigger sfx (something like a sound notifier)? If works i can synchronize sfx and walk cycles so much easier! And it will become flipbook playback speed independent. I am heading to now.

You can use it to do things like , but you have to be careful and always check a time interval, never specific frames. For example, if you call GetPlaybackPositionInFrames on game frame 1 and it returns 5, and again on game frame 2, it might return 7. You would then check interval [5,7] for any events that need to occur, not just frame 7.

Did you read by chance a post i wrote in feedback section regarding paper2d and cooked performance? Would you be kind enough to comment on that and maybe give us some insight on why is happening and what is causing it?

Thanks!

I haven’t seen your other thread, can you link it? I did just post some numbers for grouped sprites that are coming in 4.8 in thread though Rendering 5000 sprites in UE4 10x slower than Unity5? - Rendering - Epic Developer Community Forums if you want to take a look. same underlying changes also apply to tile maps in 4.8p3. They were already more efficient than loose sprites but still had a non-trivial per-frame RT cost, which is now gone.

[edit]Note: grouped sprite component changes missed preview 3 which was apparently cut Saturday morning…

Cheers,
