Lua Code:
function GetFramerate(number) end
This is the only line of code I currently have and I'm not getting any lua error or anything. But it is not displaying anywhere. Do I need to make a frame for it to display in? If so how would I do that easy methods only please. |
The code above wont do anything because all you are doing is defining a new function called GetFramerate(paramter = number)
What you want to do is "CALL" the function GetFramerate, not re-define it.
e.g.
fps = GetFramerate()
d(fps)
will display the framerate in the console.
For "constant" updating you would need to hook a callback, so, periodically it would call whatever function you want to perform some action, like, getting the framerate every 100 milliseconds, etc...
If you want to display it on more than the console output, yes, you would need to make a "frame" for it.
