Output Framerate & roundtrip time

by Jill Thorne · in Torque Game Engine · 09/10/2003 (5:10 am) · 2 replies

Does anyone know how to output the current framerate to both console and GUI? Also, I want to find out the roundtrip time values (communication time between torque server and client) when running the game. Can someone give me some directions please? Thanks.

In the console, type metric(fps); to see the framerate for the engine.

I think that the player scoreboard will show the pingtimes. Hit F2 to pull it up (or maybe TAB, I forget XD). The server join screen also shows this information. It's possible to query it at runtime, the GameConnection object that is connected to the server should have the info.

I wonder, there might be a metric(net); as well. :)
