Before the loop,

inside the loop



At least farting ferrets are better than stinky stoats.

thanks that works fine could you explain it though, becasue i thought if old timer was= to timer() and then if the timer() were in the same loop then that would = nothing, so therefore nos would stay the same

No, because the oldtimer is not updated until the next sync, and you are therefore getting the timer ticks since the last sync.

No.

Oldtimer = timer()

render stuff (a wait)

timer()

oldtimer() = timer

render stuff (a wait)

timer()
