*Need opinion* [Snippet] GameStart

[TriggerHappy]

For when scripts need to do stuff post-initialization. This allows you to run code when the game starts to prevent users (and other dependencies) from creating/destroying many timers.

library GameStart initializer onInit

    globals
        private trigger T=CreateTrigger()
    endglobals
    
    // these two are the same
    function onGameStart takes boolexpr func returns nothing
        call TriggerAddCondition(T, func)
    endfunction
    
    function RegisterGameStartEvent takes boolexpr func returns nothing
        call TriggerAddCondition(T, func)
    endfunction
    
    // run threads and destroy handles
    private function onExpire takes nothing returns nothing
        call TriggerEvaluate(T)
        call DestroyTimer(GetExpiredTimer())
        call DestroyTrigger(T)
        set T=null
    endfunction
    
    private function onInit takes nothing returns nothing
        call TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 0, false, function onExpire)
    endfunction
    
endlibrary

function display takes nothing returns boolean
    call BJDebugMsg("Game started.")
    return false
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_008 takes nothing returns nothing
    call onGameStart(Filter(function display))
endfunction

What do you guys think?

I think its faster to rewrite this than to download it.
Resources should imo have a certain extent unless they include some non-trivial workaround or something..

I agree.

The point however was to prevent many zero second timers in scripts.

But yeah, I won't submit this.
