This function sets the maximum FPS (Frames per second) that players on the server can run their game at.
Syntax
bool setFPSLimit ( int fpsLimit )
Required Arguments
- fpsLimit: An integer value representing the maximum FPS. This value may be between 25 and 100 FPS. You can also pass 0 or false, in which case the FPS limit will be the one set in the client settings (by default, 100 FPS and the client fps limit should also manually be changed via "fps_limit=0" in console or MTA San Andreas 1.5\MTA\config\coreconfig.xml).
Returns
Returns true if successful, or false if it was not possible to set the limit or an invalid value was passed.
Issues when increasing FPS
It is also recommended to set a conservative FPS limit (between 30-60 and 74 highest), because high FPS can break some GTA internal calculations. The higher the FPS the more of a problem these become:
- Impossibility to move sideways while aiming certain weapons.
- Speed of vehicles is effected, racers with a higher FPS will have an unfair advantage.
- Pressing the horn button to turn on and off sirens gets really hard the higher the FPS.
- Climbing over certain objects will result in instant death. Example at: 2520.108, -1681.407, 19.406, 266
- Animations can randomly get messed up.
- There were more issues like not being able to take off in Skimmer which MTA developers have fixed.
- Satchels can be thrown ~10% less distance.
Example
This command sets the fps limit in a command handler.
