OnClientPreRender

This event is triggered every time before GTA renders a new frame.

Parameters

float timeSlice

• timeSlice: The interval between this frame and the previous one in milliseconds (delta time).

Source

The source of this event is the client's root element.

Example

This example makes the camera follow the player in a GTA2-like way.

root = getRootElement ()
function updateCamera ()
	local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( getLocalPlayer () )
	setCameraMatrix ( x, y, z + 50, x, y, z )
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientPreRender", root, updateCamera )

Warning

This event and onClientRender will trigger whatever function it is attached to with every frame. Depending on the server's maximum FPS and what your computer might handle - you might end up triggering the function 30-60 times per second.

As a result, this event may cause severe lag and/or even crashes if not used cautiously.
