targetFrameRate
Usage
sprite( which3dSprite ).targetFrameRate
Description
3D sprite property; determines the preferred number of frames per second to use when rendering
a 3D sprite. The default value is 30 frames per second. The
targetFrameRate
property is only
used if the
useTargetFrameRate
property is set to
TRUE
. If the
useTargetFrameRate
property is
set to
TRUE
, Director will reduce the polygon count of the models in the sprite if necessary to
maintain the specified frame rate.
Example
These statements set the
targetFrameRate
property of sprite 3 to 45 and enforce the frame rate
by setting the
useTargetFrameRate
property of the sprite to
TRUE
:
sprite(3).targetFrameRate = 45
sprite(3).useTargetFrameRate = TRUE
