Unify `FixedTime` and `Time` while fixing several problems (#8964) # Objective Current `FixedTime` and `Time` have several problems. This pull aims to fix many of them at once. - If there is a longer pause between app updates, time will jump forward a lot at once and fixed time will iterate on `FixedUpdate` for a large number of steps. If the pause is merely seconds, then this will just mean jerkiness and possible unexpected behaviour in gameplay. If the pause is hours/days as with OS suspend, the game will appear to freeze until it has caught up with real time. - If calculating a fixed step takes longer than specified fixed step period, the game will enter a death spiral where rendering each frame takes longer and longer due to more and more fixed step updates being run per frame and the game appears to freeze. - There is no way to see current fixed step elapsed time inside fixed steps. In order to track this, the game designer needs to add a custom system inside `FixedUpdate` that calculates elapsed or step count in a resource. - Access to delta time inside fixed step is `FixedStep::period` rather than `Time::delta`. This, coupled with the issue that `Time::elapsed` isn't available at all for fixed steps, makes it that time requiring systems are either implemented to be run in `FixedUpdate` or `Update`, but rarely work in both. - Fixes #8800 - Fixes #8543 - Fixes #7439 - Fixes #5692 ## Solution - Create a generic `Time<T>` clock that has no processing logic but which can be instantiated for multiple usages. This is also exposed for users to add custom clocks. - Create three standard clocks, `Time<Real>`, `Time<Virtual>` and `Time<Fixed>`, all of which contain their individual logic. - Create one "default" clock, which is just `Time` (or `Time<()>`), which will be overwritten from `Time<Virtual>` on each update, and `Time<Fixed>` inside `FixedUpdate` schedule. This way systems that do not care specifically which time they track can work both in `Update` and `FixedUpdate` without changes and the behaviour is intuitive. - Add `max_delta` to virtual time update, which limits how much can be added to virtual time by a single update. This fixes both the behaviour after a long freeze, and also the death spiral by limiting how many fixed timestep iterations there can be per update. Possible future work could be adding `max_accumulator` to add a sort of "leaky bucket" time processing to possibly smooth out jumps in time while keeping frame rate stable. - Many minor tweaks and clarifications to the time functions and their documentation. ## Changelog - `Time::raw_delta()`, `Time::raw_elapsed()` and related methods are moved to `Time<Real>::delta()` and `Time<Real>::elapsed()` and now match `Time` API - `FixedTime` is now `Time<Fixed>` and matches `Time` API. - `Time<Fixed>` default timestep is now 64 Hz, or 15625 microseconds. - `Time` inside `FixedUpdate` now reflects fixed timestep time, making systems portable between `Update ` and `FixedUpdate`. - `Time::pause()`, `Time::set_relative_speed()` and related methods must now be called as `Time<Virtual>::pause()` etc. - There is a new `max_delta` setting in `Time<Virtual>` that limits how much the clock can jump by a single update. The default value is 0.25 seconds. - Removed `on_fixed_timer()` condition as `on_timer()` does the right thing inside `FixedUpdate` now. ## Migration Guide - Change all `Res<Time>` instances that access `raw_delta()`, `raw_elapsed()` and related methods to `Res<Time<Real>>` and `delta()`, `elapsed()`, etc. - Change access to `period` from `Res<FixedTime>` to `Res<Time<Fixed>>` and use `delta()`. - The default timestep has been changed from 60 Hz to 64 Hz. If you wish to restore the old behaviour, use `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_hz(60.0))`. - Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new(duration))` to `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_duration(duration))` - Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new_from_secs(secs))` to `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_seconds(secs))` - Change `system.on_fixed_timer(duration)` to `system.on_timer(duration)`. Timers in systems placed in `FixedUpdate` schedule automatically use the fixed time clock. - Change `ResMut<Time>` calls to `pause()`, `is_paused()`, `set_relative_speed()` and related methods to `ResMut<Time<Virtual>>` calls. The API is the same, with the exception that `relative_speed()` will return the actual last ste relative speed, while `effective_relative_speed()` returns 0.0 if the time is paused and corresponds to the speed that was set when the update for the current frame started. ## Todo - [x] Update pull name and description - [x] Top level documentation on usage - [x] Fix examples - [x] Decide on default `max_delta` value - [x] Decide naming of the three clocks: is `Real`, `Virtual`, `Fixed` good? - [x] Decide if the three clock inner structures should be in prelude - [x] Decide on best way to configure values at startup: is manually inserting a new clock instance okay, or should there be config struct separately? - [x] Fix links in docs - [x] Decide what should be public and what not - [x] Decide how `wrap_period` should be handled when it is changed - [x] ~~Add toggles to disable setting the clock as default?~~ No, separate pull if needed. - [x] Add tests - [x] Reformat, ensure adheres to conventions etc. - [x] Build documentation and see that it looks correct ## Contributors Huge thanks to @alice-i-cecile and @maniwani while building this pull.

Wait until `FixedUpdate` can see events before dropping them (#10077) ## Objective Currently, events are dropped after two frames. This cadence wasn't *chosen* for a specific reason, double buffering just lets events persist for at least two frames. Events only need to be dropped at a predictable point so that the event queues don't grow forever (i.e. events should never cause a memory leak). Events (and especially input events) need to be observable by systems in `FixedUpdate`, but as-is events are dropped before those systems even get a chance to see them. ## Solution Instead of unconditionally dropping events in `First`, require `FixedUpdate` to first queue the buffer swap (if the `TimePlugin` has been installed). This way, events are only dropped after a frame that runs `FixedUpdate`. ## Future Work In the same way we have independent copies of `Time` for tracking time in `Main` and `FixedUpdate`, we will need independent copies of `Input` for tracking press/release status correctly in `Main` and `FixedUpdate`. -- Every run of `FixedUpdate` covers a specific timespan. For example, if the fixed timestep `Δt` is 10ms, the first three `FixedUpdate` runs cover `[0ms, 10ms)`, `[10ms, 20ms)`, and `[20ms, 30ms)`. `FixedUpdate` can run many times in one frame. For truly framerate-independent behavior, each `FixedUpdate` should only see the events that occurred in its covered timespan, but what happens right now is the first step in the frame reads all pending events. Fixing that will require timestamped events. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com>

Wait until `FixedUpdate` can see events before dropping them (#10077) ## Objective Currently, events are dropped after two frames. This cadence wasn't *chosen* for a specific reason, double buffering just lets events persist for at least two frames. Events only need to be dropped at a predictable point so that the event queues don't grow forever (i.e. events should never cause a memory leak). Events (and especially input events) need to be observable by systems in `FixedUpdate`, but as-is events are dropped before those systems even get a chance to see them. ## Solution Instead of unconditionally dropping events in `First`, require `FixedUpdate` to first queue the buffer swap (if the `TimePlugin` has been installed). This way, events are only dropped after a frame that runs `FixedUpdate`. ## Future Work In the same way we have independent copies of `Time` for tracking time in `Main` and `FixedUpdate`, we will need independent copies of `Input` for tracking press/release status correctly in `Main` and `FixedUpdate`. -- Every run of `FixedUpdate` covers a specific timespan. For example, if the fixed timestep `Δt` is 10ms, the first three `FixedUpdate` runs cover `[0ms, 10ms)`, `[10ms, 20ms)`, and `[20ms, 30ms)`. `FixedUpdate` can run many times in one frame. For truly framerate-independent behavior, each `FixedUpdate` should only see the events that occurred in its covered timespan, but what happens right now is the first step in the frame reads all pending events. Fixing that will require timestamped events. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com>

Migrate engine to Schedule v3 (#7267) Huge thanks to @maniwani, @devil-ira, @hymm, @cart, @superdump and @jakobhellermann for the help with this PR. # Objective - Followup #6587. - Minimal integration for the Stageless Scheduling RFC: https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/45 ## Solution - [x] Remove old scheduling module - [x] Migrate new methods to no longer use extension methods - [x] Fix compiler errors - [x] Fix benchmarks - [x] Fix examples - [x] Fix docs - [x] Fix tests ## Changelog ### Added - a large number of methods on `App` to work with schedules ergonomically - the `CoreSchedule` enum - `App::add_extract_system` via the `RenderingAppExtension` trait extension method - the private `prepare_view_uniforms` system now has a public system set for scheduling purposes, called `ViewSet::PrepareUniforms` ### Removed - stages, and all code that mentions stages - states have been dramatically simplified, and no longer use a stack - `RunCriteriaLabel` - `AsSystemLabel` trait - `on_hierarchy_reports_enabled` run criteria (now just uses an ad hoc resource checking run condition) - systems in `RenderSet/Stage::Extract` no longer warn when they do not read data from the main world - `RunCriteriaLabel` - `transform_propagate_system_set`: this was a nonstandard pattern that didn't actually provide enough control. The systems are already `pub`: the docs have been updated to ensure that the third-party usage is clear. ### Changed - `System::default_labels` is now `System::default_system_sets`. - `App::add_default_labels` is now `App::add_default_sets` - `CoreStage` and `StartupStage` enums are now `CoreSet` and `StartupSet` - `App::add_system_set` was renamed to `App::add_systems` - The `StartupSchedule` label is now defined as part of the `CoreSchedules` enum - `.label(SystemLabel)` is now referred to as `.in_set(SystemSet)` - `SystemLabel` trait was replaced by `SystemSet` - `SystemTypeIdLabel<T>` was replaced by `SystemSetType<T>` - The `ReportHierarchyIssue` resource now has a public constructor (`new`), and implements `PartialEq` - Fixed time steps now use a schedule (`CoreSchedule::FixedTimeStep`) rather than a run criteria. - Adding rendering extraction systems now panics rather than silently failing if no subapp with the `RenderApp` label is found. - the `calculate_bounds` system, with the `CalculateBounds` label, is now in `CoreSet::Update`, rather than in `CoreSet::PostUpdate` before commands are applied. - `SceneSpawnerSystem` now runs under `CoreSet::Update`, rather than `CoreStage::PreUpdate.at_end()`. - `bevy_pbr::add_clusters` is no longer an exclusive system - the top level `bevy_ecs::schedule` module was replaced with `bevy_ecs::scheduling` - `tick_global_task_pools_on_main_thread` is no longer run as an exclusive system. Instead, it has been replaced by `tick_global_task_pools`, which uses a `NonSend` resource to force running on the main thread. ## Migration Guide - Calls to `.label(MyLabel)` should be replaced with `.in_set(MySet)` - Stages have been removed. Replace these with system sets, and then add command flushes using the `apply_system_buffers` exclusive system where needed. - The `CoreStage`, `StartupStage, `RenderStage` and `AssetStage` enums have been replaced with `CoreSet`, `StartupSet, `RenderSet` and `AssetSet`. The same scheduling guarantees have been preserved. - Systems are no longer added to `CoreSet::Update` by default. Add systems manually if this behavior is needed, although you should consider adding your game logic systems to `CoreSchedule::FixedTimestep` instead for more reliable framerate-independent behavior. - Similarly, startup systems are no longer part of `StartupSet::Startup` by default. In most cases, this won't matter to you. - For example, `add_system_to_stage(CoreStage::PostUpdate, my_system)` should be replaced with - `add_system(my_system.in_set(CoreSet::PostUpdate)` - When testing systems or otherwise running them in a headless fashion, simply construct and run a schedule using `Schedule::new()` and `World::run_schedule` rather than constructing stages - Run criteria have been renamed to run conditions. These can now be combined with each other and with states. - Looping run criteria and state stacks have been removed. Use an exclusive system that runs a schedule if you need this level of control over system control flow. - For app-level control flow over which schedules get run when (such as for rollback networking), create your own schedule and insert it under the `CoreSchedule::Outer` label. - Fixed timesteps are now evaluated in a schedule, rather than controlled via run criteria. The `run_fixed_timestep` system runs this schedule between `CoreSet::First` and `CoreSet::PreUpdate` by default. - Command flush points introduced by `AssetStage` have been removed. If you were relying on these, add them back manually. - Adding extract systems is now typically done directly on the main app. Make sure the `RenderingAppExtension` trait is in scope, then call `app.add_extract_system(my_system)`. - the `calculate_bounds` system, with the `CalculateBounds` label, is now in `CoreSet::Update`, rather than in `CoreSet::PostUpdate` before commands are applied. You may need to order your movement systems to occur before this system in order to avoid system order ambiguities in culling behavior. - the `RenderLabel` `AppLabel` was renamed to `RenderApp` for clarity - `App::add_state` now takes 0 arguments: the starting state is set based on the `Default` impl. - Instead of creating `SystemSet` containers for systems that run in stages, simply use `.on_enter::<State::Variant>()` or its `on_exit` or `on_update` siblings. - `SystemLabel` derives should be replaced with `SystemSet`. You will also need to add the `Debug`, `PartialEq`, `Eq`, and `Hash` traits to satisfy the new trait bounds. - `with_run_criteria` has been renamed to `run_if`. Run criteria have been renamed to run conditions for clarity, and should now simply return a bool. - States have been dramatically simplified: there is no longer a "state stack". To queue a transition to the next state, call `NextState::set` ## TODO - [x] remove dead methods on App and World - [x] add `App::add_system_to_schedule` and `App::add_systems_to_schedule` - [x] avoid adding the default system set at inappropriate times - [x] remove any accidental cycles in the default plugins schedule - [x] migrate benchmarks - [x] expose explicit labels for the built-in command flush points - [x] migrate engine code - [x] remove all mentions of stages from the docs - [x] verify docs for States - [x] fix uses of exclusive systems that use .end / .at_start / .before_commands - [x] migrate RenderStage and AssetStage - [x] migrate examples - [x] ensure that transform propagation is exported in a sufficiently public way (the systems are already pub) - [x] ensure that on_enter schedules are run at least once before the main app - [x] re-enable opt-in to execution order ambiguities - [x] revert change to `update_bounds` to ensure it runs in `PostUpdate` - [x] test all examples - [x] unbreak directional lights - [x] unbreak shadows (see 3d_scene, 3d_shape, lighting, transparaency_3d examples) - [x] game menu example shows loading screen and menu simultaneously - [x] display settings menu is a blank screen - [x] `without_winit` example panics - [x] ensure all tests pass - [x] SubApp doc test fails - [x] runs_spawn_local tasks fails - [x] [Fix panic_when_hierachy_cycle test hanging](https://github.com/alice-i-cecile/bevy/pull/120) ## Points of Difficulty and Controversy **Reviewers, please give feedback on these and look closely** 1. Default sets, from the RFC, have been removed. These added a tremendous amount of implicit complexity and result in hard to debug scheduling errors. They're going to be tackled in the form of "base sets" by @cart in a followup. 2. The outer schedule controls which schedule is run when `App::update` is called. 3. I implemented `Label for `Box<dyn Label>` for our label types. This enables us to store schedule labels in concrete form, and then later run them. I ran into the same set of problems when working with one-shot systems. We've previously investigated this pattern in depth, and it does not appear to lead to extra indirection with nested boxes. 4. `SubApp::update` simply runs the default schedule once. This sucks, but this whole API is incomplete and this was the minimal changeset. 5. `time_system` and `tick_global_task_pools_on_main_thread` no longer use exclusive systems to attempt to force scheduling order 6. Implemetnation strategy for fixed timesteps 7. `AssetStage` was migrated to `AssetSet` without reintroducing command flush points. These did not appear to be used, and it's nice to remove these bottlenecks. 8. Migration of `bevy_render/lib.rs` and pipelined rendering. The logic here is unusually tricky, as we have complex scheduling requirements. ## Future Work (ideally before 0.10) - Rename schedule_v3 module to schedule or scheduling - Add a derive macro to states, and likely a `EnumIter` trait of some form - Figure out what exactly to do with the "systems added should basically work by default" problem - Improve ergonomics for working with fixed timesteps and states - Polish FixedTime API to match Time - Rebase and merge #7415 - Resolve all internal ambiguities (blocked on better tools, especially #7442) - Add "base sets" to replace the removed default sets.

Unify `FixedTime` and `Time` while fixing several problems (#8964) # Objective Current `FixedTime` and `Time` have several problems. This pull aims to fix many of them at once. - If there is a longer pause between app updates, time will jump forward a lot at once and fixed time will iterate on `FixedUpdate` for a large number of steps. If the pause is merely seconds, then this will just mean jerkiness and possible unexpected behaviour in gameplay. If the pause is hours/days as with OS suspend, the game will appear to freeze until it has caught up with real time. - If calculating a fixed step takes longer than specified fixed step period, the game will enter a death spiral where rendering each frame takes longer and longer due to more and more fixed step updates being run per frame and the game appears to freeze. - There is no way to see current fixed step elapsed time inside fixed steps. In order to track this, the game designer needs to add a custom system inside `FixedUpdate` that calculates elapsed or step count in a resource. - Access to delta time inside fixed step is `FixedStep::period` rather than `Time::delta`. This, coupled with the issue that `Time::elapsed` isn't available at all for fixed steps, makes it that time requiring systems are either implemented to be run in `FixedUpdate` or `Update`, but rarely work in both. - Fixes #8800 - Fixes #8543 - Fixes #7439 - Fixes #5692 ## Solution - Create a generic `Time<T>` clock that has no processing logic but which can be instantiated for multiple usages. This is also exposed for users to add custom clocks. - Create three standard clocks, `Time<Real>`, `Time<Virtual>` and `Time<Fixed>`, all of which contain their individual logic. - Create one "default" clock, which is just `Time` (or `Time<()>`), which will be overwritten from `Time<Virtual>` on each update, and `Time<Fixed>` inside `FixedUpdate` schedule. This way systems that do not care specifically which time they track can work both in `Update` and `FixedUpdate` without changes and the behaviour is intuitive. - Add `max_delta` to virtual time update, which limits how much can be added to virtual time by a single update. This fixes both the behaviour after a long freeze, and also the death spiral by limiting how many fixed timestep iterations there can be per update. Possible future work could be adding `max_accumulator` to add a sort of "leaky bucket" time processing to possibly smooth out jumps in time while keeping frame rate stable. - Many minor tweaks and clarifications to the time functions and their documentation. ## Changelog - `Time::raw_delta()`, `Time::raw_elapsed()` and related methods are moved to `Time<Real>::delta()` and `Time<Real>::elapsed()` and now match `Time` API - `FixedTime` is now `Time<Fixed>` and matches `Time` API. - `Time<Fixed>` default timestep is now 64 Hz, or 15625 microseconds. - `Time` inside `FixedUpdate` now reflects fixed timestep time, making systems portable between `Update ` and `FixedUpdate`. - `Time::pause()`, `Time::set_relative_speed()` and related methods must now be called as `Time<Virtual>::pause()` etc. - There is a new `max_delta` setting in `Time<Virtual>` that limits how much the clock can jump by a single update. The default value is 0.25 seconds. - Removed `on_fixed_timer()` condition as `on_timer()` does the right thing inside `FixedUpdate` now. ## Migration Guide - Change all `Res<Time>` instances that access `raw_delta()`, `raw_elapsed()` and related methods to `Res<Time<Real>>` and `delta()`, `elapsed()`, etc. - Change access to `period` from `Res<FixedTime>` to `Res<Time<Fixed>>` and use `delta()`. - The default timestep has been changed from 60 Hz to 64 Hz. If you wish to restore the old behaviour, use `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_hz(60.0))`. - Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new(duration))` to `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_duration(duration))` - Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new_from_secs(secs))` to `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_seconds(secs))` - Change `system.on_fixed_timer(duration)` to `system.on_timer(duration)`. Timers in systems placed in `FixedUpdate` schedule automatically use the fixed time clock. - Change `ResMut<Time>` calls to `pause()`, `is_paused()`, `set_relative_speed()` and related methods to `ResMut<Time<Virtual>>` calls. The API is the same, with the exception that `relative_speed()` will return the actual last ste relative speed, while `effective_relative_speed()` returns 0.0 if the time is paused and corresponds to the speed that was set when the update for the current frame started. ## Todo - [x] Update pull name and description - [x] Top level documentation on usage - [x] Fix examples - [x] Decide on default `max_delta` value - [x] Decide naming of the three clocks: is `Real`, `Virtual`, `Fixed` good? - [x] Decide if the three clock inner structures should be in prelude - [x] Decide on best way to configure values at startup: is manually inserting a new clock instance okay, or should there be config struct separately? - [x] Fix links in docs - [x] Decide what should be public and what not - [x] Decide how `wrap_period` should be handled when it is changed - [x] ~~Add toggles to disable setting the clock as default?~~ No, separate pull if needed. - [x] Add tests - [x] Reformat, ensure adheres to conventions etc. - [x] Build documentation and see that it looks correct ## Contributors Huge thanks to @alice-i-cecile and @maniwani while building this pull.

This cadence wasn't *chosen* for a specific reason, double buffering just lets events persist for at least two frames. Events only need to be dropped at a predictable point so that the event queues don't grow forever (i.e. events should never cause a memory leak). Events (and especially input events) need to be observable by systems in `FixedUpdate`, but as-is events are dropped before those systems even get a chance to see them. ## Solution Instead of unconditionally dropping events in `First`, require `FixedUpdate` to first queue the buffer swap (if the `TimePlugin` has been installed). This way, events are only dropped after a frame that runs `FixedUpdate`. ## Future Work In the same way we have independent copies of `Time` for tracking time in `Main` and `FixedUpdate`, we will need independent copies of `Input` for tracking press/release status correctly in `Main` and `FixedUpdate`. -- Every run of `FixedUpdate` covers a specific timespan. For example, if the fixed timestep `Δt` is 10ms, the first three `FixedUpdate` runs cover `[0ms, 10ms)`, `[10ms, 20ms)`, and `[20ms, 30ms)`. `FixedUpdate` can run many times in one frame. For truly framerate-independent behavior, each `FixedUpdate` should only see the events that occurred in its covered timespan, but what happens right now is the first step in the frame reads all pending events. Fixing that will require timestamped events. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com>

Unify `FixedTime` and `Time` while fixing several problems (#8964) # Objective Current `FixedTime` and `Time` have several problems. This pull aims to fix many of them at once. - If there is a longer pause between app updates, time will jump forward a lot at once and fixed time will iterate on `FixedUpdate` for a large number of steps. If the pause is merely seconds, then this will just mean jerkiness and possible unexpected behaviour in gameplay. If the pause is hours/days as with OS suspend, the game will appear to freeze until it has caught up with real time. - If calculating a fixed step takes longer than specified fixed step period, the game will enter a death spiral where rendering each frame takes longer and longer due to more and more fixed step updates being run per frame and the game appears to freeze. - There is no way to see current fixed step elapsed time inside fixed steps. In order to track this, the game designer needs to add a custom system inside `FixedUpdate` that calculates elapsed or step count in a resource. - Access to delta time inside fixed step is `FixedStep::period` rather than `Time::delta`. This, coupled with the issue that `Time::elapsed` isn't available at all for fixed steps, makes it that time requiring systems are either implemented to be run in `FixedUpdate` or `Update`, but rarely work in both. - Fixes #8800 - Fixes #8543 - Fixes #7439 - Fixes #5692 ## Solution - Create a generic `Time<T>` clock that has no processing logic but which can be instantiated for multiple usages. This is also exposed for users to add custom clocks. - Create three standard clocks, `Time<Real>`, `Time<Virtual>` and `Time<Fixed>`, all of which contain their individual logic. - Create one "default" clock, which is just `Time` (or `Time<()>`), which will be overwritten from `Time<Virtual>` on each update, and `Time<Fixed>` inside `FixedUpdate` schedule. This way systems that do not care specifically which time they track can work both in `Update` and `FixedUpdate` without changes and the behaviour is intuitive. - Add `max_delta` to virtual time update, which limits how much can be added to virtual time by a single update. This fixes both the behaviour after a long freeze, and also the death spiral by limiting how many fixed timestep iterations there can be per update. Possible future work could be adding `max_accumulator` to add a sort of "leaky bucket" time processing to possibly smooth out jumps in time while keeping frame rate stable. - Many minor tweaks and clarifications to the time functions and their documentation. ## Changelog - `Time::raw_delta()`, `Time::raw_elapsed()` and related methods are moved to `Time<Real>::delta()` and `Time<Real>::elapsed()` and now match `Time` API - `FixedTime` is now `Time<Fixed>` and matches `Time` API. - `Time<Fixed>` default timestep is now 64 Hz, or 15625 microseconds. - `Time` inside `FixedUpdate` now reflects fixed timestep time, making systems portable between `Update ` and `FixedUpdate`. - `Time::pause()`, `Time::set_relative_speed()` and related methods must now be called as `Time<Virtual>::pause()` etc. - There is a new `max_delta` setting in `Time<Virtual>` that limits how much the clock can jump by a single update. The default value is 0.25 seconds. - Removed `on_fixed_timer()` condition as `on_timer()` does the right thing inside `FixedUpdate` now. ## Migration Guide - Change all `Res<Time>` instances that access `raw_delta()`, `raw_elapsed()` and related methods to `Res<Time<Real>>` and `delta()`, `elapsed()`, etc. - Change access to `period` from `Res<FixedTime>` to `Res<Time<Fixed>>` and use `delta()`. - The default timestep has been changed from 60 Hz to 64 Hz. If you wish to restore the old behaviour, use `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_hz(60.0))`. - Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new(duration))` to `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_duration(duration))` - Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new_from_secs(secs))` to `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_seconds(secs))` - Change `system.on_fixed_timer(duration)` to `system.on_timer(duration)`. Timers in systems placed in `FixedUpdate` schedule automatically use the fixed time clock. - Change `ResMut<Time>` calls to `pause()`, `is_paused()`, `set_relative_speed()` and related methods to `ResMut<Time<Virtual>>` calls. The API is the same, with the exception that `relative_speed()` will return the actual last ste relative speed, while `effective_relative_speed()` returns 0.0 if the time is paused and corresponds to the speed that was set when the update for the current frame started. ## Todo - [x] Update pull name and description - [x] Top level documentation on usage - [x] Fix examples - [x] Decide on default `max_delta` value - [x] Decide naming of the three clocks: is `Real`, `Virtual`, `Fixed` good? - [x] Decide if the three clock inner structures should be in prelude - [x] Decide on best way to configure values at startup: is manually inserting a new clock instance okay, or should there be config struct separately? - [x] Fix links in docs - [x] Decide what should be public and what not - [x] Decide how `wrap_period` should be handled when it is changed - [x] ~~Add toggles to disable setting the clock as default?~~ No, separate pull if needed. - [x] Add tests - [x] Reformat, ensure adheres to conventions etc. - [x] Build documentation and see that it looks correct ## Contributors Huge thanks to @alice-i-cecile and @maniwani while building this pull.

Unify `FixedTime` and `Time` while fixing several problems (#8964) # Objective Current `FixedTime` and `Time` have several problems. This pull aims to fix many of them at once. - If there is a longer pause between app updates, time will jump forward a lot at once and fixed time will iterate on `FixedUpdate` for a large number of steps. If the pause is merely seconds, then this will just mean jerkiness and possible unexpected behaviour in gameplay. If the pause is hours/days as with OS suspend, the game will appear to freeze until it has caught up with real time. - If calculating a fixed step takes longer than specified fixed step period, the game will enter a death spiral where rendering each frame takes longer and longer due to more and more fixed step updates being run per frame and the game appears to freeze. - There is no way to see current fixed step elapsed time inside fixed steps. In order to track this, the game designer needs to add a custom system inside `FixedUpdate` that calculates elapsed or step count in a resource. - Access to delta time inside fixed step is `FixedStep::period` rather than `Time::delta`. This, coupled with the issue that `Time::elapsed` isn't available at all for fixed steps, makes it that time requiring systems are either implemented to be run in `FixedUpdate` or `Update`, but rarely work in both. - Fixes #8800 - Fixes #8543 - Fixes #7439 - Fixes #5692 ## Solution - Create a generic `Time<T>` clock that has no processing logic but which can be instantiated for multiple usages. This is also exposed for users to add custom clocks. - Create three standard clocks, `Time<Real>`, `Time<Virtual>` and `Time<Fixed>`, all of which contain their individual logic. - Create one "default" clock, which is just `Time` (or `Time<()>`), which will be overwritten from `Time<Virtual>` on each update, and `Time<Fixed>` inside `FixedUpdate` schedule. This way systems that do not care specifically which time they track can work both in `Update` and `FixedUpdate` without changes and the behaviour is intuitive. - Add `max_delta` to virtual time update, which limits how much can be added to virtual time by a single update. This fixes both the behaviour after a long freeze, and also the death spiral by limiting how many fixed timestep iterations there can be per update. Possible future work could be adding `max_accumulator` to add a sort of "leaky bucket" time processing to possibly smooth out jumps in time while keeping frame rate stable. - Many minor tweaks and clarifications to the time functions and their documentation. ## Changelog - `Time::raw_delta()`, `Time::raw_elapsed()` and related methods are moved to `Time<Real>::delta()` and `Time<Real>::elapsed()` and now match `Time` API - `FixedTime` is now `Time<Fixed>` and matches `Time` API. - `Time<Fixed>` default timestep is now 64 Hz, or 15625 microseconds. - `Time` inside `FixedUpdate` now reflects fixed timestep time, making systems portable between `Update ` and `FixedUpdate`. - `Time::pause()`, `Time::set_relative_speed()` and related methods must now be called as `Time<Virtual>::pause()` etc. - There is a new `max_delta` setting in `Time<Virtual>` that limits how much the clock can jump by a single update. The default value is 0.25 seconds. - Removed `on_fixed_timer()` condition as `on_timer()` does the right thing inside `FixedUpdate` now. ## Migration Guide - Change all `Res<Time>` instances that access `raw_delta()`, `raw_elapsed()` and related methods to `Res<Time<Real>>` and `delta()`, `elapsed()`, etc. - Change access to `period` from `Res<FixedTime>` to `Res<Time<Fixed>>` and use `delta()`. - The default timestep has been changed from 60 Hz to 64 Hz. If you wish to restore the old behaviour, use `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_hz(60.0))`. - Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new(duration))` to `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_duration(duration))` - Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new_from_secs(secs))` to `app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_seconds(secs))` - Change `system.on_fixed_timer(duration)` to `system.on_timer(duration)`. Timers in systems placed in `FixedUpdate` schedule automatically use the fixed time clock. - Change `ResMut<Time>` calls to `pause()`, `is_paused()`, `set_relative_speed()` and related methods to `ResMut<Time<Virtual>>` calls. The API is the same, with the exception that `relative_speed()` will return the actual last ste relative speed, while `effective_relative_speed()` returns 0.0 if the time is paused and corresponds to the speed that was set when the update for the current frame started. ## Todo - [x] Update pull name and description - [x] Top level documentation on usage - [x] Fix examples - [x] Decide on default `max_delta` value - [x] Decide naming of the three clocks: is `Real`, `Virtual`, `Fixed` good? - [x] Decide if the three clock inner structures should be in prelude - [x] Decide on best way to configure values at startup: is manually inserting a new clock instance okay, or should there be config struct separately? - [x] Fix links in docs - [x] Decide what should be public and what not - [x] Decide how `wrap_period` should be handled when it is changed - [x] ~~Add toggles to disable setting the clock as default?~~ No, separate pull if needed. - [x] Add tests - [x] Reformat, ensure adheres to conventions etc. - [x] Build documentation and see that it looks correct ## Contributors Huge thanks to @alice-i-cecile and @maniwani while building this pull.

Update time by sending frame instant through a channel (#4744) # Objective - The time update is currently done in the wrong part of the schedule. For a single frame the current order of things is update input, update time (First stage), other stages, render stage (frame presentation). So when we update the time it includes the input processing of the current frame and the frame presentation of the previous frame. This is a problem when vsync is on. When input processing takes a longer amount of time for a frame, the vsync wait time gets shorter. So when these are not paired correctly we can potentially have a long input processing time added to the normal vsync wait time in the previous frame. This leads to inaccurate frame time reporting and more variance of the time than actually exists.
