It's been a while since I've posted but I'm still working on my same project that I started 3 years ago

I've been stuck with default animations and I was tired of being limited, since I'm making an FPS, so I whipped out Enhanced animations that I bought some time ago. Everything is fine but this one quirky problem:

(Note: In all of these snippets, text ... prints out 17 just fine)

This works:


This DOESN'T work:

Is this a glitch in DarkBasic's casting system? If so, is there any way to get my time between frames in there and not using a constant?

What do you mean by "Doesn't Work"?

Oh, sorry, I mean it doesn't update.

If I do this

It updates with 17 milliseconds worth of change.

If I do this

It doesn't update, assuming it thinks its null or 0, even when right after that function call I print out its value (17).

Update: Still not fixed but I did a few more tests...

This doesn't update...


Yet this does...


This very much has to be a bug. At least it's a tiny bug :\ I'll have to work around it.

For anyone who is looking for a fix...I dont have a clean one, but here's what I did:

tm is a local variable.
I save the timer() of the event in the object type itself, since globals hate me.


Essentially the same thing as what I had for tbmf_diff, but for some reason the function wasn't agreeing with that variable. So I made a new one that does pretty much the same thing but per object.

Are you sure it does take a delta time rather than a timestamp?
I can't remember off the top of my head but if it is the latter you could only send it a constant value once. Of course if that was the case calling it with "17" would also only work on the first call...

Yea it is just a delta time.

Odd bug. I tried a smaller experiment with the global variable declared in the same file and it worked :\

Something about declaring globals in that fashion it doesn't like.
