Simple as that The framerates of animations are completely independent of the application framerate. ie. Increasing the application framerate will not make animations play any faster. n/a

Sketchy Cornwall UK Registered 06/11/2004 Points 1971	16th January, 2010 at 14:08:56 - No. If you've got a 100 speed animation, it will always run at 50 animation frames per second. The game fps has no effect on animation speed. The application fps only determines how many times the main event loop is run each second, and how often the screen is redrawn (unless you tick the "vsync" option I believe). Having said that... If the animation speed = 100, that means the frame changes 50 times per second. If the application framerate is only 25fps, it means the animation frame will change twice in the time between screen redraws - meaning it will appear to skip animation frames. Just to prove my original point... * Create a new game. * Create a new active object, with two frames of animation. * Set it to loop animation, and set the animation speed to 2. * Set the fps in the application properties to 100. * Run the game - you'll see the animation frame switches once every second. * Go back and set the fps in the application properties to 10. * Run the game again - you'll see it's still exactly the same - 1 frame per second.

However much you add to it, dictates it's speed. Very efficient and allows it to depend on framerate which helps a lot in keeping the whole game in sync. Always Add 0.25 to Alterable Value Always Set Frame to Alterable Value Animation now spins at one fourth the games framerate. So a framerate of 60fps would make the animation 15 frames every second. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

columbo borgi :C Registered 07/12/2003 Points 296	19th January, 2010 at 18:57:09 - and can you tell me how buildt in movement speed is counted? that is like animation speed too? :\ :C
Sketchy Cornwall UK Registered 06/11/2004 Points 1971	20th January, 2010 at 00:02:00 - Pixels per Second = Speed * Framerate * 0.125 Pixels per Frame = Speed / 8 Edited by Sketchy n/a
