Summary

0002151: ON=@TIMER Problem

Description

I have tested a long time ago that the on=@timer is firing every second, so its was giving problems with common things.

I recorded 2 videos that shows whats happening...
The first one:
- using function teste1 made by me, that creates an item and your char will equip it. when equipped, will broadcast 'TESTING' and give timer = 5 to item, and when on=@timer is fired, broadcasts 'TESTED', then the item is removed.
with a script running in Injection, I'm measuring the real timer that sphere is using to do the '5 seconds' timer.

you can see everything here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/51370445/Untitled%202.avi [^]

the second one:
- using the same function (teste2 on bottom) but using timerf instead creating the item and setting timer = 5... it works FINE
you can see it here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/51370445/Untitled%204.avi [^]

So, what I think is: something is broke or the on=@timer being fired only every second is very sucks.

If you need more informations, just tell me.

Thanks!

[ITEMDEF I_MEMORY_OI]
ID I_MEMORY
TYPE T_EQ_SCRIPT

ON=@EQUIP
SERV.B TESTING
TIMER 5

[FUNCTION TESTE2]
SYSMESSAGE TESTING
TIMERF 5,SYSMESSAGE TESTED
RETURN 1

Injection code:
sub teste1()
var d
while not uo.dead()
while not uo.injournal('TESTING')
  wait(1)
wend
d = 0

  d = d + 1

Notes
(0001529) xwerswoodx (reporter) 26-03-13 21:10	did you try? CONT.SYSMESSAGE TESTING

(0001530) EXTREME (reporter) 27-03-13 00:38	Nothing will change because the problem is when the trigger is fired... :/

(0001531) Ben (manager) 27-03-13 02:56	Timers are affected by server process time... there is nothing that can be done for this. Timerf are parsed early in the cycle where as an item timer is process later causing more inconsistencies in the precision.
