Sam cutscenes?

hesopesomeso

sam cutscenes do eat away combo time

hesopesomeso

Combo time will always get eaten as long as you are in a "game" state, and not "pause" state.

failentin

okay!

failentin

and fill is not updated whenever there are black cutscene bars?

hesopesomeso

Yeah there is something like that, lemme verify exactly what that is

hesopesomeso

Yeah so if you are in a cinematic cutscene, fill goes down.

failentin

oh??

hesopesomeso

And also sam???

hesopesomeso

No, not sam

hesopesomeso

So probably also not a cinematic cutscene

hesopesomeso

Sam & cutscenes pause both fill & combo time

failentin

so the merchant is an outlier xD

hesopesomeso

Also rocketeers seem to be doing their own thing. It does not apply to them.

failentin

failentin

in what way?

hesopesomeso

The combo time left is computed differently for them.

hesopesomeso

I mean it should work okay... I guess? But I just don't understand why I lose flybash sometimes in Helvetia after them...

hesopesomeso

What COULD happen is if you are very low on combo in a tunnel, and as you load the next sector, the combo runs out. This would mean delta time is large, and could cause the unwanted check to be loaded first, loading flybash.

hesopesomeso

Actually... it could even happen even if your frame rate suddenly drops :obelul:
