Simple Physics Throttler

Description
A simple throttling script which can save frames, reduce freezing, and can make the action more intense. (Similar to the space engineers system)

Benefits:
-Can make the game run smoother.
-Can stop those multi-second freezes when your potato can’t handle 10000000 NPCs.
-Can make getting into the sandbox menus smoother when frames are less than 1 per second.
-Can make multi-prop explosions and ragdoll deaths automatically 10x more awesome.

How it works for noobs: The script dynamically reduces the host_timescale convar if the game's frame rate drops behind your custom limit, effectively slowing down time so that the game can render more frames.
This is my first workshop script and I’m not a good programmer. This has not been tested for multiplayer or for use by servers, but this may change. I may expand the mod and enable linking it to other optimization scripts, we will see.

Mod can be enabled/disabled in options menu.

this is very great,best performance mod it literally lets you explode 100 explosives without your pc dying which i did it,personally use it with a bunch of fix addons like lua patcher,another performance mod and redundant file finder ontop

very amazing addon, unfortunatly its just kills the gameplay because of my 82948 lagging and conflicting addons. Saved in favorites, will use when I became an adequate human being sometime later

if you combine it with the original bullet time mod, time slows down when it gets laggier. so it's like your character is getting really focused in the action and it makes for a really cool effect

the only actually useful performance mod i have ever seen good job

Yeah the sound throttling is really annoying can you disable it

Is there a way to disable the throttle effect for sounds? Certain sounds break, mostly any custom music or ambience from maps

NGL, the constant fluctuations even when its an empty map kinds ruins this.

@EthicalObligation @Osadnickzek140: I'll look into what you've posted and I will also look at the dynamic noclip compensation thing. I am doing finals ATM and so I can't give you guys a timeline, might be a while.

Feel free to use any of my script and even publish all of it! :)

if SERVER then
util.AddNetworkString( "ClientIdealTimescale" )
net.Receive("ClientIdealTimescale",function(len,ply)
if len == 0 or !IsValid(ply) then return end
local ClientIdealTimescale = 1
ClientIdealTimescale = net.ReadDouble()
if ClientIdealTimescale > 1 then
ClientIdealTimescale = 1
elseif ClientIdealTimescale <= 0 then
ClientIdealTimescale = 1
end
ply.ClientIdealTimescale = ClientIdealTimescale
end)
