Accurate?

[Chaosy]

I was using TransmissionFromUnitWithNameBJ(bj_FORCE_PLAYER[0], mc2, "Person", null, line, bj_TIMETYPE_SET, 5.10, true); for a cinematic. I need very precise timing and was wondering if it's accurate.

If I put 4.66 will it actually last 4.66 seconds or is it like the wait that can be wrong with 0.27 seconds?

You can just take a look at the BJ function and look up if the called natives are fast enough.

EDIT: Making your work faster:

function TransmissionFromUnitWithNameBJ takes force toForce, unit whichUnit, string unitName, sound soundHandle, string message, integer timeType, real timeVal, boolean wait returns nothing
    call TryInitCinematicBehaviorBJ()

    // Ensure that the time value is non-negative.
    set timeVal = RMaxBJ(timeVal, 0)

    set bj_lastTransmissionDuration = GetTransmissionDuration(soundHandle, timeType, timeVal)
    set bj_lastPlayedSound = soundHandle

    if (IsPlayerInForce(GetLocalPlayer(), toForce)) then
        // Use only local code (no net traffic) within this block to avoid desyncs.

        if (whichUnit == null) then
            // If the unit reference is invalid, send the transmission from the center of the map with no portrait.
            call DoTransmissionBasicsXYBJ(0, PLAYER_COLOR_RED, 0, 0, soundHandle, unitName, message, bj_lastTransmissionDuration)
        else
            call DoTransmissionBasicsXYBJ(GetUnitTypeId(whichUnit), GetPlayerColor(GetOwningPlayer(whichUnit)), GetUnitX(whichUnit), GetUnitY(whichUnit), soundHandle, unitName, message, bj_lastTransmissionDuration)
            if (not IsUnitHidden(whichUnit)) then
                call UnitAddIndicator(whichUnit, bj_TRANSMISSION_IND_RED, bj_TRANSMISSION_IND_BLUE, bj_TRANSMISSION_IND_GREEN, bj_TRANSMISSION_IND_ALPHA)
            endif
        endif
    endif

    if wait and (bj_lastTransmissionDuration > 0) then
        // call TriggerSleepAction(bj_lastTransmissionDuration)
        call WaitTransmissionDuration(soundHandle, timeType, timeVal)
    endif
endfunction

function DoTransmissionBasicsXYBJ takes integer unitId, playercolor color, real x, real y, sound soundHandle, string unitName, string message, real duration returns nothing
    call SetCinematicSceneBJ(soundHandle, unitId, color, unitName, message, duration + bj_TRANSMISSION_PORT_HANGTIME, duration)

    if (unitId != 0) then
        call PingMinimap(x, y, bj_TRANSMISSION_PING_TIME)
        //call SetCameraQuickPosition(x, y)
    endif
endfunction

function SetCinematicSceneBJ takes sound soundHandle, integer portraitUnitId, playercolor color, string speakerTitle, string text, real sceneDuration, real voiceoverDuration returns nothing
    set bj_cineSceneLastSound = soundHandle
    call PlaySoundBJ(soundHandle)
    call SetCinematicScene(portraitUnitId, color, speakerTitle, text, sceneDuration, voiceoverDuration)
endfunction

This doesn't look much accurate, uses waits:

function WaitTransmissionDuration takes sound soundHandle, integer timeType, real timeVal returns nothing
    if (timeType == bj_TIMETYPE_SET) then
        // If we have a static duration wait, just perform the wait.
        call TriggerSleepAction(timeVal)

    elseif (soundHandle == null) then
        // If the sound does not exist, perform a default length wait.
        call TriggerSleepAction(bj_NOTHING_SOUND_DURATION)

    elseif (timeType == bj_TIMETYPE_SUB) then
        // If the transmission is cutting off the sound, wait for the sound
        // to be mostly finished.
        call WaitForSoundBJ(soundHandle, timeVal)

    elseif (timeType == bj_TIMETYPE_ADD) then
        // If the transmission is extending beyond the sound's length, wait
        // for it to finish, and then wait the additional time.
        call WaitForSoundBJ(soundHandle, 0)
        call TriggerSleepAction(timeVal)

    else
        // Unrecognized timeType - ignore.
    endif
endfunction

function TryInitCinematicBehaviorBJ takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer index

    if (bj_cineSceneBeingSkipped == null) then
        set bj_cineSceneBeingSkipped = CreateTrigger()
        set index = 0
        loop
            call TriggerRegisterPlayerEvent(bj_cineSceneBeingSkipped, Player(index), EVENT_PLAYER_END_CINEMATIC)
            set index = index + 1
            exitwhen index == bj_MAX_PLAYERS
        endloop
        call TriggerAddAction(bj_cineSceneBeingSkipped, function CancelCineSceneBJ)
    endif
endfunction

function CancelCineSceneBJ takes nothing returns nothing
    call StopSoundBJ(bj_cineSceneLastSound, true)
    call EndCinematicScene()
endfunction
