I have some questions about how SM works. I am trying to get an FPS monitor plugin working to where the FPS display in game is exact to what displayed in server console but no luck with any methods found. Server console says 110 FPS with fluctuations while sourcemod plugins read a static 60 FPS using any of the frame/Tick related functions.

Below is the method I'm used to as an amx mod x user. This method matches FPS display in server console through in amx mod x flawlessly. However, the equivalent method in sourcemod the frames execute separate from the engine. Why is this? Is actual engine frame hooking impossible with source engine?

Moreover, I underclocked the CPU to 20% factory speed to see if frames from source mod were any different but no change. OnGameFrame() was still executing 60 times per second under any condition while actual frames in server console were saying 10-15. Source mod is so wonky compared to what I'm used to.

PHP Code:

public OnGameFrame()
{
    frames++
    new Float:gt = GetGameTime()
    if(gt > wait)
    {
        SetHudTextParams(1.0, 1.0, 0.9, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 6.0, 0.01, 0.01);
        for(new id = 1; id < 12;id++)
        {
            if(IsClientConnected(id) && !IsFakeClient(id))
            {
                ShowHudText(id, 4, "FPS:%d", frames)
            }
        }
        frames = 0
        wait = gt + 1.0
    }
}
  
}

It would help to know what game you're using to test this.

However, I'm going to point out that tickrate and fps_max aren't the same thing in Source games.

Edit: Here, I'll quote something I said in a previous post:

It's called GetGameTime() for a reason. See documentation for more details.

I recall already correcting someone on this (maybe even you), but L4D(2) is locked to 30 ticks per second.

Good to know. Does fps any vital role at all with a source servers since considering its separate?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I do know that the Valve Developer Wiki has a long article on Source Multiplayer Networking that doesn't actually mention FPS in it even once.

Sourcengine networking is... Wierd.
Each frame is stored, along with a bunch of information about every single entity... Lots of position/physics data, mostly for csp.
So like, when you shoot someone, it goes back in time, grabs the frame that should have happened on, and does the calculations from there.
It is kind of costly to store all of that stuff
