Please enlighten us then, because I just went looking for one and couldn't find one, and this is a very useful thing to have.ConsoleEntry::eval
Huh? You can't detect anything from a client's console serverside, so obviously it's clientside. And either way, there's no TS callback for when things are printed to console, and testArrayCtrl.dump(); reveals no way to even grab text from the console.I'm asking the OP. If it's server-sided, not possible. But there is definitely a callback on the console control for when a new line is added, I've had to use it before.
When did I claim that "the concept of stepping by delta isn't exclusive to rendering"?You didn't, that's why I asked you.
guess what you have to do in order to render?Oh look, Ipquarx talking about stuff he doesn't have a clue about again. Any good game engines separate logic from rendering. They do not depend on each other.
That's right, process. Contradiction found.
no, i'm saying nobody smart enough to make a game would make that mistake.Kind of hilarious that you're talking about "smart game devs" when you actually don't understand game development at all. Rendering is a very expensive process. You don't seem to understand the concept of concurrent programming.
I'm also saying that having two loops makes no sense, why would frame rendering even need a loop anyway?
I don't even know of a game that doesn't measure the mspf and factor that into calculations for things such as physics, animations, etc.You realise that the concept of stepping by delta isn't exclusive to rendering right? Having the logic on a separate thread does the exact same thing, except it uses the time delta between ticks.
HeEven then, big-oh notation does not directly translate to time taken, so it's incorrect to say it's an 8th slower.saidmeant 1/8th slower
9 - 8 = 1 / 8 = 1/8th slower
I don't think having it in a linked list would give a very big benefit if the API is that of an array.How is having O(1) pushing and popping not important for a sim group?
Doubt it, you now have to keep that up to date (if someone (dis)connects your data will be outdated). And seriously, even with 99 players this kind of optimization doesn't really matter in this case unless you're doing it in an extremely tight loop.Yeah, agreed, it's pointless. Assuming that Torque implements SimGroups as a linked list like they should, it won't bring much optimization to the table.
no, that won't work, but I'd like to know, is there a string format function for torquescript like there is for java? for example, you could do this in java:Maybe you should have tried it before saying it won't work, seeing as the thing you're looking for is what HellsHero just said. There is no type casting because Torque is not statically typed, but most message systems support the basic string formatting HellsHero mentioned. AFAIK, centerPrint, bottomPrint, messageClient and a few others work for it. There is no general function to format a string, though.Code: [Select]System.out.printf("You have %d dollars and %02d cents", dollars, cents);if dollars was 12 and cents was 4, it would print out "You have 12 dollars and 04 cents"
is there a function like this in torquescript?
