Tic counters

[Twinblades713]

I saw it somewhere, but forgot so I bring it up again.

What are some of the tactics for getting the tics straight on or more accurately? I have the time on my prompt with all chars but wasn't there a way to judge when a tic was coming? What was that.

25-35 seconds.

The only 'true' tic timer is one that is triggered to reset a 30 second timer everytime your prompt updates a new time-hour.

Then you create a trigger to send an echo to your client @ a certain time you decide on.

So an example be having your client send you

"Tic in 7 seconds" @ 23 seconds.

Is that accurate? No. You can't have a perfectly timed tick timer. However, what you can do is get it close enough to where you aren't wasting near as much time as you would be w/o always having a good approximation of when the tick was to occur.

set triggers off of common environment cues.
