What if we could have a setting to cap the framerate at a certain number to make our timers more precise?

it could also save along with the map so others can enjoy your perfect timers

And as for the compatibility issue that would arise from a map format addition, if TPT doesn't see the framerate cap variable in a map, or if the value is Zero, it will not cap the framerate at all and will load the map normally

As long as your framerate is at the cap, your timers should be able to function at near-perfect intervals as it would take the same frames per second for a spark to get from point A to point B

Yes? No? Maybe?

The framerate is capped at 60FPS.

I think he means like choose your frame rate (if possible) so that it doesn't shift and make a creation or whatever go slower/faster than intended.

And how the f*** is that going to work?!

and were in the source code is that limit set? if we could set it to 1 fps and compile we could do some debugging in electrical systems. (framerate is not saved to the server right?)

I put in a merge request for a code change that when you press "f" increments one frame and pauses again.

It doesn't seem like a necessary feature to me.

I do like this.

Im sorry, but that made me lol.
