How long is a game-time second?

[SwedishChef]

I just need a fast answer on how long a game-time second is.

 

[Narks]

1 second?

 

[Weep]

Doesn't that depend on the game's speed setting?

 

[SwedishChef]

Hm okey if it depends on game's speed settings, when is 1 second 1 second then?

then game speed = normal

 

[Axtyler#1]

yea

Pretty much lol

 

[shiFt]

sometimes ive set things to do something at 30 sec game time, and then to 50 and to 40 and have seen no real difference as to when they were done. So it seems a good question to ask

 

[cleeezzz]

lol got out a timer and did a few tests. normal is 1 second, slowest is almost half a second slower, but fastest went the same speed as normal. so both fast and normal are 1 second.

Hm, good thanks.

Also, game-time seconds stop counting when a player lags.

Can you elaborate on this function and how it differs from normal waits?

"Gameplay Constant > Time - Real seconds per game day"

1440 = 24 min = 1:1 (@ fastest)

Don't understand .

 

[Narks]

There are three types of seconds.

1). Day / night seconds. The clock thing.
2). The seconds used by timers and stuff, that are paused when the lag-screen appears.
3). TriggerSleepAction, which sucks balls.

If you're talking about the difference in the GUI actions:

• Wait - Wait 1.00 second
  • Wait - Wait 1.00 game-time second

Then the only time that this will differ, is if a player lags and it brings up the "Waiting for Players" dialog box. If you wait 1 game-time second, it will not count the time the player is lagging. If you only "Wait 1.00 second", it will count this time as waited time.

Ah ok so wait game-time is better than wait when a player lags?

It really depends on what you want.

Okey give an example when one is good and the other isn't.

 

[Anachron]

Never use waits at all.

Okey give an example when one is good and the other isn't.

If you for example want to pause the game and unpause it for a limited time.
If the game is paused, the wait x.00 gametime seconds does not work, because the game is paused.
