Hello ! My friends, today is Timers' Question DAY !

The Question today is : Is there a way to speed up a timer's Time, remembering that all the game should stay relative to Time ?

Very good question my friend.

Access to a global framesPerSecond property perhaps?

Ummmm

My brain is sore. :cry:

What?

Don't panic :mrgreen:

I have a timer with Time = A ms. I would like, on MouseDown event, this time to accelerate, like Time = A*2 or something like that :wink:

To make?

Do you know the Hexacto's Lemonade.inc game ? or any other games like Sim City. You always have an option which enabes you to accelerate the time so as the game goes faster. That's on what I'm working on : Create a Main Timer that can be Accelerated while keeping all other timers present in game realive to it :wink:

Good luck

You want to change the speed that things happen without changing the frame rate.

Hmmmm

OK

You make a global real called gameSpeed.

Set it to 1.0.

Anytime you use a time-related event within the game you can factor in gameSpeed.

eg. CreateTimer, MoveTo...

Just ramblings really I'm sure there are limitations to this system.
