sPlOrYgOn · **msec and slow bots -** 05-07-2004

when I went searching around the web for HL stuff I found somewhere saying the msec value to pass to pfnRunPlayerMove() should be "gpGlobals->frametime * 1000"..
I started logging my gpGlobals->frametime and found that mine was almost always 0.010000
so I decided to see how TheFatal calculated it and I found my value would almost always be 9, but if I did it the other way it would almost always be 10..
So I decided to do it the other way and see what happens..
The bots seemed to get a sudden boost in speed..
I remembered someone asking why he saw the bots running slower with a knife out than he did when he had his knife out..
I tried it and doing "gpGlobals->frametime * 1000" made bots run at the same speed I did..
I tried changing the 450.0 / msecnum; to 500.0 / msecnum; and it worked just like "gpGlobals->frametime * 1000".
Why do we use TheFatal's method when we can just put "gpGlobals->frametime * 1000" there?
