Deterministic scripting

Awesome, thanks for the info.

Each game frame is 100ms in game time. A game second has 10 frames, always. A game second may last shorter or longer than a real second, depending on lag and game speed setting.

Emm i've got a question. Does this mean that quite a lot of AI events can fall on a single game frame? So most of my attempts to +/- 100ms randomize AI timers (to reduce the amount of events triggered at the same time) were useless, since it's most likely still the same game frame?

Heh, I was doing the same sort of thing, with like ± Random(0...100)ms

But yeah, sounds like in general randomisation would need to be >100ms and in chunks of 100ms.

[Per]

Yes, randomization needs to be > 100ms to have any effect.

I'll get around to adding load balancing at the engine layer one day. I want to add some measurement code first to see where the problems are, though, since I do not like adding code blindly
