| Time Source Unit Constant | ||
|---|---|---|
| Constant | Description | Value |
| time_source_units_seconds | Use seconds for the Time Source period (frame-independent) | 0 |
| time_source_units_frames | Use frames for the Time Source period (frame-dependent) | 1 |
These constants are used in time_source_create() and time_source_reconfigure() to set the units used for the Time Source's period, and are returned by time_source_get_units().
If you use seconds, your Time Source will run independently from the game's framerate.
If you use frames, your Time Source will be dependent on the game's framerate.
You can also use BPM (beats-per-minute) as a unit by calling time_bpm_to_seconds() to convert your BPM value to a period in seconds, and then using time_source_units_seconds as the unit.
