Slow Computer=Bad Timing
Sometimes my computer is slow, and that can cause very bad timing with lip-syncing, etc online, and even if they download it will probably be off timing for them, too, because they could have a fast computer. Is there a way to have better timing on a project?

Re: Slow Computer=Bad Timing
use a faster computer, i suppose
if you cant get to one perhaps you can just make it lag automatically somehow, like scripts that make the project take longer to do things

Re: Slow Computer=Bad Timing
It depends on the sound clip. Broadcasts and wait blocks help if you're using short and individual sound clips, but if you're using long sound clips (like songs, for example), I like to use this method since it gives greater control of execution time:
when gf clicked wait [number] secs broadcast [message]You use the wait block to control the time the message is broadcast. For example, if you know that one lyrics starts at 15 seconds, and another starts at 13 second, then you would have two sets of scripts:
when gf clicked wait [15] secs broadcast [lyrics 1]
when gf clicked wait [30] secs broadcast [lyrics 2]And obviously the broadcast message is what triggers the blocks for lip movement.

Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease
