Hello,

Is it possible to speed up a game so it runs double time? Similar to in The Sims when your character is sleeping. So everything still runs as it would, just twice as fast.

It would be a painful process and you would need double the code if you wanted to implement such a speed up manually.

Go to "storyboard controls" -> "set frame rate" in the event editor
50 is the default, setting it to 100 would double it.
1000 is the maximum

I tried that and it only increases the speed at which MMF loops the code. Not the speed of movements and animations. Do you know another method that does?

It's going to be difficult to drop something like this into a game that wasn't developed around it.

Increasing the frame rates should definitely increase the speed of animations and movements. You might want to adjust the "timer movement" property too, to adjust any upper bounds.

Hmmmm this definitely isn't the case for me. Could possibly be my computer. Can anybody run my game and see if it speeds up for them?

http://www.whenthereisnoroominhellthedeadwalktheearth.com/MMF/NoRoomInHell.zip

Holding "CONTROL" increases the framerate to 1000.
Letting go restores it back to 50.

"SPACEBAR" opens doors and you use the "UP" and "DOWN" arrows to enter them. Oh and "ENTER" turns toggles lightswitches.

Ps. The door animation is not actually an animation sequence. They just get resized when you open them, so it makes sense that this is sped up when holding control, because they shrink every time MMF loops the code.

The newer updates to MMF add "timer based movements" which makes the speed objects travel using MMF's built-in movements independent of the framerate.
Try unchecking "timer based movements" in the frame properties.

Another thing worth mentioning is the fact that some PC's won't be able to handle large changes in framerate, so to compensate for this check the box "Machine independent speed" in the runtime properties.

I haven't actually tested these suggestions, but they should do the trick.
