You mean a time limit like you have one minute to complete a mission?

You would need to use the "timer()" command

Heres an example:



The timer gets system time in 1000ths of seconds. You would need to make the elapsed time into seconds to use it, but thats not that hard to do.

[Edit]

What?!?!?! I just took all that time to write it out and you want me to ignore it?

No problem. I love to help people

Sorry Andrew.. what i was looking for was the "screen fps()" command.. just a quick question.. im displaying a quake 3 level at 288 fps, does that sound right?

Im using the demo so i assume its version 3.x.. i heard v4 patch speeds things up.. if it does im ordering this tomorrow
