For sure! So I'm basically trying to solve for a component physics problem of variable frame rate affecting the movement for a component on game threaded tick. Wanted to see if the sub-stepping at a fixed frame rate would solve my problem to save time while allowing variable game thread frame rate

Yes exactly, so I could have game thread code execute per physics substep. IE moving an component or something

I'm gonna go cry now that substep kept getting changed to dubstep lol

Like wanting to have a component receive a ticket/update when the dubstep occurs sort of thing so I can use it to move certain objects at say 60hz while the game runs at an unlocked frame rate.

Yes it's dumb because this should be part of the generators themselves as a value for filtering. Shows how half bake Apple's approach is usually

Totally agree, it's something a lot of people can't experience today sadly. Plus your "Hit the deck" from a sniper example is something I literally experienced!

That's the crazy thing, it's sporadically handled in the engine too?! There's UENUM's with just the bitflags keyword and then others with UseEnumValuesAsMaskValuesInEditor, as well as some using both uint8 and others int32

I hate auto correct, basically asking for what keywords are correct regarding bitmask enums for the editor and why uint8 doesn't work for everything but some things ATM...

I wish it was this simple for me on vacations, I get pulled into so many "Your in town?! We need to hang out!" Think I got a total of 4 hours of work done over a 2 week period

I agree, been a lot more tech focused than design focused lately across the game dev media... Plus nobody seems to be talking about some stuff with Indiana Jones that is very old school that designers have needed for a while IMO
