: delta¶
Calculate the difference between the value of an expression compared to the last time :delta was called on it. Note: this only works for numeric types, such as int, float, bool, Vector2, Vector3, etc. Values are remembered for up to 10 minutes, to avoid leaking memory
Usage: : delta [OPTIONS] <EXPRESSION>...
Arguments¶
| Name | Description | Possible values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
<EXPRESSION> | The expression to differentiate. Must be numerical, Vector-like, or Quat |
Options¶
| Name | Description | Possible values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
-n--norm | If set, calculate the norm (aka magnitude) of the delta - useful to determine the (angular) speed of an object in any dimension | true, false | |
--dt | If set, divides the result by dt (the amount of time since the previous result was calculated). In other words, it will calculate the delta per second instead of per frame | true, false |
