Smooth movement in vb.net Help me

[DGENXP]

I am wondering if it is possible to make the movement smoother as i am finding that when i set the key to make the model rotate or move it is either smooth and slow or fast and noticebly jurky is there a command or code listing to make it smooth and fast

eg. 3d Gamestudio code C Script eg (I know im using VB but this is just an example)

my.posx=x + 20 *time;

this will make the character move not just on the key pressed but also on the clock time of your processor

I would simply like to know if this can be done on irrlicht.net (VB) using obviously a different code in irrlicht

Your help would be much appreciated on this matter

P.s sorry for such a long post

Hi,
i do not know it exaclty but i've read for a long time in a book that you should not use the time factor for movement. You should use the framerate to calculate this.
You mus calculate in this way that the player ist moving in same speed by 10 fps and by 120 fps.

Hope this helps you ?

Of course u can use the 'timefactor' or the 'fps-rate' (which is a time factor)...

DGENXP i don't exaclty now where your problem is? Maybe you first learn some VB.NET ?

Here is some 'pseudo-code'

Code: Select all

Dim LastTime as Time 

Do

Character.Position = Character.Position + Direction * (NOW - LastTime)
LastTime = NOW

Loop
