[1.7.10]Is draw screen called every tick?

[starwarsmace]

Hello guys. So Im making an animation for a gui and Im going to be changing the background every tick or so. Does drawscreen get called every tick?

 

Also, kindve related question. How do you have text formating, like underlining. In the font renderer class it says, " Set if the "n" style (underlined)is active in currently rendering string." Where would I put the "n"?

drawScreen is called every frame (which is different from ticks). For ticks use updateScreen.

 

For formatting check out EnumChatFormatting.

Thank you and frames is what I want I think for animations.

 

And Ill check out EnumChatFormatting.

Not really, you want ticks. Otherwise your animations will run faster at 120 fps than at 60.

Oh. That isnt what I want.I actually want it at like 10 fps. I could just check whether 12 frames have passed then run my frame, until the end. Would that be right?

A tick is already at 20 fps, so like diesieben07 says you should use the tick method for consistency.  You can check if 2 ticks have passed if you need 10fps.  The frame rate is configurable and will depend on device and user settings, so you don't want to depend on that for timing.

Oh, alright Ill try that.

Is updateScreen able to draw? For some reason its not letting me draw my stuff on the updateScreen.

No you draw in

drawScreen

. You need to count ticks in

updateScreen

and every # ticks, increment the animation and render your animation in

drawScreen

.
