how to slow down update and Frame rate of JobComponentSystem

Is there a way to slow down the update in JobComponentSystem and make it update like just 3 time/Frame per second and run Entities.ForEach just three time every second ?

 

I'm not sure if there is a way to reduce the actual update frequency but you can just do this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     int updatesPerSecond = 3;
3.     float timeSinceLastUpdate = 0;
4.     protected override void OnUpdate()
5.     {
6.         timeSinceLastUpdate += Time.DeltaTime;
7.  
8.         if(timeSinceLastUpdate >= 1f / updatesPerSecond)
9.         {
10.             timeSinceLastUpdate = 0;
11.  
12.             //Entities.ForEach....
13.         }
14.     }

 

Pay attention that the solution above will lose accuracy with time.

 

Just curious, why/how does it lose accuracy over time?

 

Possible workaround, disabling onupdate, and kick update from monobehavior,

 

I think the most efficient way for the moment is using

Code (CSharp):

1. FixedRateUtils.EnableFixedRateWithCatchUp(_simulationGroup, timesInSecond);

I believe floating point precision errors.

Ah. I figured. The solution up above is using delta time and not Time.time so it should be fine, right?

 

I think it should be okay yea, I thought there was an endless accumulation of timeSinceLastUpdate but it gets reset to 0. Technically should be okay but I still doubt stability on different platforms. Stopwatch might do the trick or https://github.com/ashoulson/RailgunNet/blob/master/RailgunNet/RailClock.cs
