Game ticking and timing system.

Inheritance

System.Object

Time

Namespace: FlaxEngine

Assembly: FlaxEngine.CSharp.dll

Syntax

[Unmanaged]
public static class Time : Object

Properties

DeltaTime

Gets time in seconds it took to complete the last frame, TimeScale dependent.

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static float DeltaTime { get; }

Property Value

System.Single

DrawFPS

The target amount of the frames rendered per second (target game FPS).

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static float DrawFPS { get; set; }

Property Value

System.Single

Remarks

To get the actual game FPS use FramesPerSecond

GamePaused

Gets or sets the value indicating whenever game logic is paused (physics, script updates, etc.).

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static bool GamePaused { get; set; }

Property Value

System.Boolean

GameTime

Gets time at the beginning of this frame. This is the time in seconds since the start of the game.

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static float GameTime { get; }

Property Value

System.Single

PhysicsFPS

The target amount of the physics simulation updates per second (also fixed updates frequency).

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static float PhysicsFPS { get; set; }

Property Value

System.Single

StartupTime

The time at which the game started (UTC local).

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static DateTime StartupTime { get; }

Property Value

System.DateTime

TimeScale

The game time scale factor. Default is 1.

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static float TimeScale { get; set; }

Property Value

System.Single

TimeSinceStartup

Gets the time since startup in seconds (unscaled).

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static float TimeSinceStartup { get; }

Property Value

System.Single

UnscaledDeltaTime

Gets timeScale-independent time in seconds it took to complete the last frame.

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static float UnscaledDeltaTime { get; }

Property Value

System.Single

UnscaledGameTime

Gets timeScale-independent time at the beginning of this frame. This is the time in seconds since the start of the game.

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static float UnscaledGameTime { get; }

Property Value

System.Single

UpdateFPS

The target amount of the game logic updates per second (script updates frequency).

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static float UpdateFPS { get; set; }

Property Value

System.Single

Methods

SetFixedDeltaTime(Boolean, Single)

Sets the fixed FPS for game logic updates (draw and update).

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static void SetFixedDeltaTime(bool enable, float value)

Parameters

System.Boolean enable True if enable this feature, otherwise false.

System.Single value The fixed draw/update rate for the time.

Synchronize()

Synchronizes update, fixed update and draw. Resets any pending deltas for fresh ticking in sync.

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
public static void Synchronize()
