Enabling/disabling vsync in the middle of a game

by Ian Omroth Hardingham · in Torque 3D Professional · 01/04/2011 (11:49 am) · 3 replies

Hey guys.

Anyone know what syntax it would be from, say, the Canvas, to change the D3D vsync status at an arbitary time?

Thanks,
Ian

@Ian,
not quite sure what you are trying to achieve,
but wont something like this work??

pseudo code:
function ToggleVSync(%val)
{
	if(%val)
    !$pref::Video::disableVerticalSync;
   else
     $pref::Video::disableVerticalSync;
}

Hi deepscratch.

The script preference is only applied at startup, so that won't actually change the vsync setting of D3D.

Thanks,
Ian

You could go down the pref route and then pass the Apply() function.
