Frame Rate

Is there a way I can set a Frame rate using code? I want to make an animation gradually get faster...

If you want individual objects to have different speeds then you might check out what Ron is talking about in this thread: [url=http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/68875]Slow Motion Method[url].

I use the GameTimeScale for slow motion in my gameGame.Instance.Engine.GameTimeScale = 0.5f;

Whoooooooooooooooa why don't you just change the frame rate of the animation not the whole game?

@Aaron: wrong link?

myAnimation.animationTime = 1.0;
myAnimatedObject.setAnimation( testAnimation );
You call setAnimation or StartAnimation to have Torque reload the data, animationTime is how many seconds to animate all the frames once (so 5 frames at 1.0 is 5fps, 5 frames at 0.5 is 10fps).

If it's like TGB then I think it's:myAnimation.animationTime = 1.0;
myAnimatedObject.setAnimation( testAnimation );

Alistair: Sweet! exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! :) I'll have a play with it tonight.

It doesn't quite do what I want though. I have a walking character, I want the walking animation to play at a higher speed when he's running, and freeze when he stops.
If the character stops walking and starts again, I want the walking animation to pick up where it left off.
Do you know how to change the framerate of an animation as it's playing, without having to use setAnimation() afterwards?

Thanks, I couldn't find this in the documentation at all.It doesn't quite do what I want though. I have a walking character, I want the walking animation to play at a higher speed when he's running, and freeze when he stops.
