Single or multiple timers

[Marcelo Hossomi]

Hi people

I have a simple question: I'm making a Damage over time struct that is linked to a buff - that is, if the target does not have a certain buff anymore, the damage is cancelled. To do so I check all instances every short period, like 0.1 sec.

Would you recommend me to:

1. Use a single timer and loop through an array of al instances, or
2. Use one timer for each instance using a timer-system like KT?

There wouldn't be a looot of simultaneous instances, so option 2 is not so bad, however I guess it would still be a huge cost for little advantage, am I right?

Thanks

what do you need a timer for if your just checking conditions every x seconds.

You can use 1 if you want, but it isn't completely necessary since accuracy isn't priority.

I think you should choose option 2 and use KT. (Or TU if you want)
