fps in a form?

[pixel_legolas]

I am trying to add a label up in the right corner showing the FPS. How would I do it. Because when adding the normal fps line it "takes over" the text I already have in the bottom of screen. I want to have normal text and FPS showing.

Thanks

Would Fraps work? (http://www.fraps.com/). I use it all the time and you can choose any of the four corners you want. The difference between the free version and pay version is the length of video capture and watermarking the video.

This is from my work desk, so I'm trying my best, but won't be around the program for another few days most likely-
but I'm trying to help.

I think it'll go like this:
You should be able to do it fairly quickly, by opening the menu editor, doing a few things-

Create a form titled something like 'showfps', and define it with the 'float GetFPS()' function.


Now open your .lay file that's appropriate, (likely fps.lay)

and create layout box option to call up the 'showfps' form you just created in the spot you
specify in the .lay file..

This **should** work, and should be quick and easy. The menu editor is pretty impressive.

I made a form called FPS and a panel on it called showfps.

here is the problem, I have no idea what to do next I know that I must define getFPS somewhere and the TextPlain FPS in some way but I jus don't know where

Something like this may work...

Code:

Form FPS
{
HorizontalAlignment Right
VerticalAlignment Top
Size 360 350
Enabled 0

Label ShowFPS
{
FontColour 255 255 255 50
Location 14 260
AllowCaptureMouse 0
TextPlain Frames Per Second:
}

}




void MainGame()
{

ShowForm( "FPS");

while (true)
{

GetControl("FPS").GetControl("ShowFPS").SetTextPlain( "Frame Per Second: " + GetGameManager().GetFPS());

Delay( 0.01);
}

}
