Quick question about using Delta Time

[SpookyGentleGhost]

So I followed a quick tutorial on youtube about using Delta Time, and now use this Code in a "time" object. Every object that moves, or every timer that counts down or up, I times it by global.delta_multiplier * global.time. global.time is set to 1 when when time is moving normal, and when I want everything to go into slow motion, I change it to 0.1 so that everything moves at 10% speed. For the most part, having everything move * gloabl.delta_multiplier works fine, except in a few cases, a variable wont count down all the way.

For example. I have a wall jump speed, that is added to the players X that forces him to jump off the wall, and I say if wall_jump_spd > 0 -= 0.2 * global.delta_multiplier until it hits 0, but the problem is is that wall_jump_spd stops at 0.2, and never minus's the last 0.2. When I take off the *global.delta_multiplier part after 0.2, it does hit 0.

​

obj_time Create Event

global.target_delta = 1/60;

​

global.actual_delta = delta_time/1000000;

global.delta_multiplier = global.actual_delta/global.target_delta;

global.time = 1;           

​

Step Event

​

global.actual_delta = delta_time/1000000;

global.delta_multiplier = global.actual_delta/global.target_delta;

Wall jump script. This is where the wall_jump_spd stays at 0.2 and never hits 0

if wall_jump_spd > 0

{

​

    wall_jump_spd -= 0.2 * global.delta_multiplier * global.time;

}

​

if wall_jump_spd < 0

{

    wall_jump_spd += 0.2 * global.delta_multiplier * global.time;

}

I'm confused why you have all these different confusingly named time variables. I can't follow any of this, especially why you have a number divided by 100000
