Max interval for game timers

[theacefes]

I see in an old iesdp entry that it goes up to 12 days. Is that the max or could I set a timer for say 20 days?

 

Thank you.

What are you talking about? SetGlobalTimer() can be an arbitrary value, as long as it fits in the data size (BCS int is 4 bytes, I believe) and will fit into a DWORD when converted to ticks and added to the current game time (also in ticks, 1/15 of one second by default).

 

The timer is simply stored as the absolute expiry game ticks, and the game just does a comparison test between the current ticks and the variable value.

That's what I was hoping for. Thanks.
