Okay I'm currently working on a metronome.
I have two problems for now.
1.

Code: Select all

count++;
if(count>=real_fps*convBPM) //convBPM is bpm/60 for this example 80/60
{
    textNumber++;
    count=0;
}

I use this code in metronome->Draw Actor
this should be correct right?
But what I get is some irregular metronome beats. Just check my demo you'll see what I mean.

2.
if I do

Code: Select all

convBPM=bpmBox/60

but it does only give an error
how to fix that?

thanks!

You're better off creating a timer for this, with "CreateTimer("Event Actor","Tick",BPM/60);" everytime the timer is triggered, recreate it, don't make it a constant loop!

if I use CreateTimer("Event Actor","Tick",BPM/60);
I can't use the Timer Event..

why?

Ah, create the timer using the Function/Variable button, then change it into the script I showed you. Then it will register the timer inside the timer list... I know it's weird

Ok thank you very much, it almost works now.
Please try this updated ged and put in first 60 or 80 and then try 40 and 100
why does it only work with 60-80 bpm?

here´s my take on the metronome with two toggling timers...of course its not that precise in terms of timing.
