Character and enemy speed changing in Xcode

[Enchantainment]

I've recently tested my app with Xcode, to see how it runs on the idevices. Upon testing, my character's running speed is incredibly slow and I don't mean losing FPS slow, I mean it's as if she is running underwater or something. The animations are all playing fine for my character and the items, even the enemies. My enemies jump strength seems to of increased a lot also while testing in Xcode.

Could it be a problem when exporting from MMF, changing the movement speed and stuff? The app only uses 60mb while running in MMF and I can't seem to find a cause for the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions for what could be causing this?

Many thanks.

Are you running it in the simulator or on a device? The simulator will not give you the same performance as an actual device.

I'm running it in the simulator. I guess I should get on Apple's development program and test it through an actual device to see how it runs?

while not using delta of timer on your movement these problems occur.

[Enchantainment]

I've not heard of delta of timer before. Could you explain what I would need to do for this tompa?

[tompa]

sure, first calculate the delta of timer.

Set a value lets call it "delta" to "(timer-iTimer_last)*0.001" (MMF expression editor).
Now set "iTimer_last" to "timer" (a global value built into MMF) for the next frame (rendered frame).


here's a quick example

Thanks Tompa for this demo.

I have been actively looking for something like this.

Thanks a lot for the help and example file tompa. It's sure to help out a lot

tompa, I've looked at your file and think I understand what's happening with it. I'm curious though, I'm using the PMO, and various other built-in movements such as pinball. Will using this method keep my PMO movements consistent across all devices? I'm also confused about what values I'd need to set and how to set them for jumping/falling/etc.

Is it possible for use with PMO?

sorry I don't use built-in/extension movement. If you want to make your own custom movement I'll help you out.
