Hello, I am trying figure out how exactly entity.speed can be measured (in other words something like the exact pixel/tick relation). I've tried running a few quick tests, but haven't been able to get a sure answer from them.

I have a very specific instance where I am trying to time a bunch of actions on different entities that are moving simultaneously as precisely as I can. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks,

John

Also, is there any way to have the game wait for exactly one tick? I've tried Sleep(), but that doesn't seem to be working quite the way I want...

Jinkies. Entity.speed wasn't in the docs. I fixed that.

From the mouth of vecna, Entity.speed is pixels per second (pps). I commonly use 100 for 'walk' and 400 for 'run', although mulitples of 16 would probably be better. I dunno.

As for waiting a tick, are you sure you want the whole engine to wait one tick, or do you just want the entities to not process for a tick?
