help onClientPreRender limiting executions

[vicisdev]

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
I'm making a movement script with cubic-bezier support, but when I render the movement onClientPreRender the server kinda limit the executions.

Can you post the code? onClientPreRender is a client event, it has nothing to do with the server.

I don't know if it's enough, but basically this is what's called every frame

-- self.behavior is a table that describes the animation properties

local elapsedTime = os.time() * 1000 - initialTime
local time = elapsedTime / self.behavior.duration

local progress = bezierInterpolation(time, self.behavior["cubic-bezier"]).x
local element = self.element

local x, y, z = unpack(initialPosition)
local toX, toY, toZ = unpack(self.behavior.to)

local newX, newY, newZ = x + ((toX - x) * progress),
                         y + ((toY - y) * progress),
                         z + ((toZ - z) * progress)

setElementPosition(element, newX, newY, newZ)

if time == 1 then
  removeEventHandler("onClientPreRender", root, renderHandler)
end

This function is called every frame, but because the values is too close from each other the API tries to save processing and updates only per second, I guess.

I know that has nothing to do with that, but calling unpack every frame, it is heavy function.

You might simply replace it with [], since you know how much data will be returned.

Are you just trying to move an object? Wouldn't using moveObject be sufficient?

Oh, thanks! I really appreciate this kind of help.

No, because I'm trying to make something more robust, versatile.

Solved! The point is that os.time() returns an integer in seconds, so even if I multiply it by a thousand we miss a lot of information on cents, decimals, units in a range from 0 to 999. Just replace os.time() by getTickCount() and you're good to go, since this returns an integer in milliseconds.
