Hi all Merry Christmas and God bless

Is there a way to make lua timer / script run independent of fps - which i doubt but still ask

i used a mod for a game that unlocks its fps to 144 from 60
and this brakes many of my scripts as they run slow and even setting them to 1 wont work

also how i calculate correct Interval per current FPS?

What interval a non-stop working script shall run for 60 FPS ?
Thanks

AFAIK, a LUA timer is not depending on the FPS in the first place.

The resolution of timers is limited by that of the system timer, which is generally about 10-16ms. Fine for 60fps (16.6 ms per frame), but not for 144fps (6.9 ms per frame).

It would be best to hook into the game's rendering engine if you need to sync with fps.

i see.

Thank you both.
And yes i mean fps toggling makes some scripts LAG - like not do stuff in time.
