[JASS] What do you prefer to use?

[Dynasti]

Ok when it comes to moving objects in an interval a lot of people have some thoughts about that.

What do you think is best? Interval? FPS? or prefixed motion loops?

I think FPS is the way to go.
Why? Well it is because if you use interval and you have a constant for speed, it will mess up if you change the interval. If you use FPS the speed is always the same, no matter the FPS

I go for motion loops.

Intervals. I don't see what the difference between interval and FPS really is.

You set the speed of the object according to whatever interval you've chosen. That's the best way to do it. For example, if you want something to move at a rate of 1000 per second, how do you do that for half a second? Simple! Divide the speed in half.

0.5/1 = 0.5
1000*0.5 = 500

Instant scaling.

Besides, you don't really need to change the interval. 0.03 is about as fast as you can go without the human eye noticing the difference.

I'd be using Intervals D:.

Intervals for me as well. Then you would easy figure out the velocity of something and so on. That's how I see it.

Intervals are definitely the way I go. Since FPS can fluctuate from second to second, the operation would have to done every interval to achieve a perfect effect.

Meh, I'm talking about a constant FPS. Like how many frames do you want you're system/spell to work in

 

[busterkomo]

Oh, alright then. But your still achieving an interval even when using FPS. I mean, 1/30 = .03, but I can't see a reason to just use .03 directly.

Intervals ftw!

 

[RolePlaynGamer]

Intervals, ofcourse. IMO, they're just a lot easier to use and modify than FPS.

 

[Dynasti]

But some physic calculations requires FPS, and thats nice

Now you maybe be saying "But I can convert Interval to FPS". But it is a lot less difficult to operate big systems with FPS imo


Well I think I've shit my pants >.<

 

[Element of Water]

Intervals and FPS are the same... 1/FPS = interval, 1*interval = FPS. Since timers take interval, I say interval, because it means you don't have to do unnecessary calculations.

 

[Eccho]

Coreection : 1/interval = FPS

 

[Element of Water]

Well, it amounts to the same thing... you get my point.

 

[MaD[Lion]]

use interval but make it so people can change it

 

[Element of Water]

I think that's what we all were assuming anyway - at least I was.
