Is the Timer event subject to lag?

[Monica Balut]

From my general observations, it's my impression that the timer event is triggered by comparison with the server's system clock.  So, although time dilation may affect how rapid the script can execute something in response to the timer, the timer event itself is not that affected by time dilation although I would expect some delay if the system is thrashing from memory overload.

 

Am I correct in this view?  If not, could someone set me straight?

Hi, yes that is basically it. Timers use the system clock to make sure the event triggers no more often than the requested interval. If it takes longer than the requested interval to get there, no extra events are added, the script "loses a turn". Because of the way the scheduler works, even in the most optimistic case, a timer won't get more than one chance per server frame to run.
