Adding FPS overlay

I have seen several games with screenshots of framerate. How does one go about adding that to the PlayGUI?

Or you can add a simple text element in an overlay GUI (call it FPSGui, say). Then run a schedule that updates the text once a second.

In console:metrics(fps);

I know about that though I was hoping to give player's something pretty to look at.

Yes, that. Create a new GUI. Make it put a text item of the size you want in the location you want. Start a schedule, which asks the metrics system for the FPS once a second, and sets the text of the FPS element of the FPS GUI to that value. Done!

Okay that makes sense.
