FPS STANDS FOR FRAMES PER SECOND.

Required Devices

1x Lifecycle
2x Triggers
2x Wire Repeaters
1x Game Overlay

---

The Steps for this Guide:

1. Place a Lifecycle and set the “Event” to “Game Start”
2. Create two Trigger Loops* ^[1] and wire the lifecycle to both triggers this way: Event Occurs > Trigger
3. Go into one of the Trigger’s Settings and:

• Set a REALLY small trigger delay ^[2]
• Create a Block that has the following code in it:
  
  

4. Enter the other Trigger’s settings and:

• Have it broadcast on “UpdateFramerate”
• Have it’s Trigger Delay set to “1”

5. Get out a Text-Type Game Overlay and create a new block which SHOULD have a block like this:
   
   
6. Pat yourself on the back, your done!

1. Place a Trigger and wire repeater, then wire the Trigger to the Wire Repeater Triggered > Repeat the wire pulse!then the Wire Repeater back to the Trigger When the wire repeater receives a pulse... > Trigger ↩︎

2. like 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001 ↩︎

that is not what a trigger loop is…

[CustomCoaster]

Then what is?

[eiqcrmeliutgwhc]

a trigger loop is a trigger being triggered by something and triggering another trigger that triggers the first trigger when triggered and the first trigger does something like incrementing a counter*

and nice guide btw

*you could use channels:

@Ben_to_the_10th

I just use one trigger that triggers itself. I use a wire to start the first trigger, then it triggers itself for the rest of the game. (So the “Trigger When Receiving On” and “When Triggered Transmit On” are the same channel) If I want to stop the loop, I just deactivate the trigger

i don’t think this would work
at all
firstly, it would only show your actual fps for 0.00000000000001 seconds every second
and secondly, it doesn’t track your fps.
this thing would stay the same regardless of your client-side performance.
this would just basically track the speed of gimkit servers, almost like tracking your ping. it would just track the rate at which gimkit can get info back to your client.

[chrysostom]

a trigger loop is a trigger that triggers itself with the same channel:
(this system needs an interval like 0.1)

wait, so this would be a guide on how to track ping then?

[CringeKarlScott]

uhhh
yeah kinda

[CringeKarlScott]

actually no
it would be inaccurate, since all properties and stuff have to go through the server to update - nothing is client-side

[wait.what.626Youtube]

I guess it would still be cool even if it doesn’t work I guess.

[wait.what.626Youtube]

ummm help? when i started the game, this just happened:

[wait.what.626Youtube]

why? and how do I fix this?

[CustomCoaster]

Uh, can I see your mechanism?

the trigger:

and the game overlay:

I used the word ping because that’s what cringekarlscott said it would be similar to.

[wait.what.626Youtube]

I don’t see any mistakes do you? idk I’m prob wrong though.
