1 frame delay (0.0 duration) unreliable

Hello,

I need a bit of clarification if that’s not a bug, because I was under the assumption that a 0 duration delay acted as a single frame skip. And while I’ve been using it for a long while now, I just recently encountered a situation where it didn’t work as intended…

I initially thought it was an issue with my script so I did a quick test just to be sure, and I’m a bit confused by the results.

In a clean 4.20 project I did this small script :

The result should not be 0.0, it should have given how long the frame was, in second.

I tried something else, having a delay between the key pressed and the measurement.

And now i’m getting the result I’m expecting, a very tiny number, which is the frame duration (I have 60fps = 1/60 = 0.016667)

Now, that could because of the way the key input works under the hood, maybe it’s latent (which would be horrifying), but I discovered it in a more complex situation with multiple script chained by delays, and I really need this 1frame delay to be consistent anytime it’s used.

Really need help here :slight_smile:
Thanks.
