Game tick is a mechanic topic that Gnomonkey covers in 1 video on 2020-12-09. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Contents

Methods

  • Clicking something queues that action for the next tick, so your character moves towards where you clicked as soon as the next tick starts.1
  • Because actions are queued per tick, if you click somewhere at the start of a tick and somewhere else near the end of the same tick, the second click takes priority as the next tick's action.2

Stats and numbers

  • The game updates every 0.6 seconds, which is a game tick, so 100 game ticks pass per minute.1
  • You move one tile per tick while walking and two tiles per tick while running.1

Tips

  • This threw him off while learning Raids 2 in particular because so many actions in the raid are tick perfect.2

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says movement is one of the most overlooked mechanics in RuneScape, and that knowing where your character will go after you click gives a huge degree of control and helps avoid hazards in PvM and skilling.3
  • Gnomonkey says OSRS is basically a rhythm game and getting a rhythm for the tick system greatly improves clicks and timings in all aspects of the game.4

Trivia

  • While learning the Scythe walk at Verzik phase 2, Gnomonkey was clicking off Verzik and back onto her so fast that both clicks landed in the same tick, which stopped his character from running away and got him bounced by Verzik every time.4
