Making entities think faster? - Developers

Is there a way to make entities think faster? Is there an alternative to entity thinks (that isn't Gamemode's think.)

Entities are moving fine, except for how they think really slowly. :/ Thought it would work, but this wouldn't solve my framerate issues.

[QUOTE=Hentie;26352496]Thought it would work, but this wouldn't solve my framerate issues.[/QUOTE] The low framerate issue might have been caused by too many loop operations done in the think function. From the thread i have read that you are recording all the physical objects movement of every entity in the map,might be that?

I was kind of hoping that the entity's thinking were multithreaded, but it's unfortunately not. I might be able to hook onto the physics thinking, though.

Yeah, unfortunately lua is only single threaded.
