Using a Loop instead of every 0.01 seconds?

[KLiK-iT]

I have never used loops in my games,.but since I have the game working with no issue and I was thinking of trying one, instead of "every 0.01 seconds create object (snow). Now the game runs fine the way it is with no slow down at all. So would I gain anything out of using a loop for this event or should I just leave it alone?

Here is the line that creates the snow and the events for it. Look at picture below. How would I set this up using a loop instead? What would the code read? Like I said,.I never used any loops before. Please explain.
Thank you,

John

There is no reason to use a loop here.

But, switch the "Every 0.01 seconds" to "Always". Assuming you are using the default framerate of 50 fps, then your event is actually happening every 0.02 seconds because MMF won't be processing your events any faster than 50 times a second.

The "Every" condition will trigger multiple times in quick succession to catch up when it falls behind, which can be undesirable in some cases.

I didn't know that guys. Thanks for the heads up. So, just take out the Every 0.01 and replace with "Always". Is that correct LB and Chris?

Thanks again guys!

Yes, using Always will get you per-frame events.
