1/100 Second & Graphics.update Problem

[BlueScope]

This time, I'm trying to include 1/100 of a second in Window_PlayTime... you sure know the default time definition there (hours left out):

@total_sec = Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate
min = @total_sec / 60 % 60
sec = @total_sec % 60

Well, I figured that 1/100 seconds should be defined by something like this:

hsc = @total_sec * 100 % 100

Assuming that this is the correct syntax, I think that I have the problem now that Graphics.update is only run once a second... this is why I want to know how I can modify it to update every... well, 1/100 second, if possible without additional lag... :P Or, of course, if you know another way to display 1/100 seconds via text, throw them in please!

Thanks in advance...

First thing - the Graphics.update isn't called once per second but once per frame. Which is 1/40 of second. If you want to call it in that 1/100 s intervals you'll have to increase the frame rate of the whole game (putting "Graphics.frame_rate = 100" in Main) but this would cause events to run much faster (if the PC spec allows it, that is). IMO - it's not worth it :]

Another thing is that I don't think the "hsc = @total_sec * 100 % 100" would return the 1/100s of a second. If your frame rate would be 100, then the 1/100s would simply be "Graphics.frame_count % 100". If you'll decide to stay with 40 fps, multiply the frame_count by 2,5 first.

It does indeed update every frame, got that told by Yeyinde earlier ^_^" Well, the method you suggested at last ("hsc = Graphics.frame_count * 2.5 % 100") works just as I imagined it, so thanks for your help, resolved, reported for closing ^_^
