RE: [hlcoders] Using gpGlobals-maxclients
Alfred, is it possible the plugin interface could be extended to do this? The tasking system for most Metamod-plugins I wrote for HL1 used the timer in gpGlobals to work. It was a nice, OS independent way of measuring in sub-second intervals matched with the framerate. Are there any other ways to do this?

RE: [hlcoders] Using gpGlobals-maxclients
You can use IEffects::Time from the IEFFECTS_INTERFACE_VERSION in the game dll to get access to gpGlobals-curtime. gpGlobals is a crutch and I want to kill it off :) Looking at the class defn for it you only need curtime and maxplayers from it which can be found via other sources, so lets leave it out for now. - Alfred Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Anderson Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 9:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Using gpGlobals-maxclients Alfred, is it possible the plugin interface could be extended to do this?
