Float Compare Time Wait

[ergin]

Compares two float values with given interval, instead of comparing them on everyframe. This way you can control if certain conditions are met n times per second. Normally a condition need to be checked 60 times if made with everyframe(OnUpdate). With this action you can check it any times per second,(Coroutine) reducing CPU cost.

Thanks.

Hi,
Actually you can easy loop that with adding a wait Action.

You can loop back to the same state btw, many peeps don't know that yet

Thanks, Actually I was doing it that way. I had noticeable performance improvement.

Hi,
You had improvement with your action or with looping?

[ergin]

I think the wait loop combined with distance based (float) comparing was slowing down...

I made a test with 500 game objects with wait loop that run alone in one scene and in another scene 500 game objects with this action.

scene1: FSM: compare float --> wait 0.1 --> go back to compare float (500 instance) Wait loop:
33ms(30fps) when flowing
66ms(15fps) when spike
cpu: 35.14ms

This Action - Scene 2: compare float every 0.1 -> compare another float every 0.1 (500 instance)
16 ms(60 fps) when flowing
33 ms(30 fps) when spike
cpu 26.12ms

But this shouldn't be noticeable with single loop, I am making a lot of changes in my game very probably performance improvement is caused by another optimization.

Wow major difference.. Are you sure about the numbers.. Can anybody confirm?
