  Hi there! I have created a test 3d-map (X-format) and this maps materials and textures is loaded onto a sceneMesh.

• azuomar73 Players move faster at higher framerates

  Okay, this is really bad. Clearly, a hard-coded "2" that's applied to my character's "Left" property on every frame render isn't going to cut it.

How can I cap the movement speed, or better yet, guarentee a certain speed within reason I can already calculate frames per second, and h ...Show All
