Question: SMART glider and SMART disabling

Just two, probably obvious, questions. First, what does the smart glider do? I couldn't seem to find any information on it on the Forums. Second, Iv'e noticed that when i disable the SMART so i can control the screen, once i enable it the bot wont start up again. This mainly happens after i solve a random. Ill disable it and then after i finish the random i enable it and the script doesn't do anything. My character just sits there. Anybody know how to solve this? Sorry if there are obvious answers! Thanks

The glider controls the FPS; the higher the bar is the higher the FPS. As for your second point are you using the Random Handler or just disabling SMART?

FPS is frames per second right? So does that basically mean the script will run "faster"? and actually both. It happened after i clicked the solve yourself option and when i just disabled it. I assume they both have the same fix? If there is one at least. Its not a huge problem, i just wanted to know how to fix it if there is a fix.

When you enter a random - if the script doesn't detect it and you attempt you solve it yourself - remember to pause the script before disabling SMART - otherwise it'll go mad ;)

Higher the fps bar more CPU you use. So if you and trying to run many bots or have many other programs running it's best to keep the fps bar at middle/lower end.

Yes in theory higher fps barrens script will run faster BUT only to a certain extent, eventually fps will be super higher and use a lot of CPU and not benefit the script at all.

30 fps seems to be best anything higher will have negligible effect on speed.

Also want to add that if the script doesn't have a good fail safe, that's when they go crazy after disabling to solve a random. For example, Flight's ZMI runner, is the best example of a script with solid failsafes and it doesn't matter when you diable smart, as soon as you reenable it will continue where it left off.

Makes sense… i guess ill keep an eye out for which scripts have good fail safes! Thanks
