Fast One-Second-Timer

Credits: See pastebin link

What does it do?

Basically, I made a tiny script for one-second-timers.
It is very useful for eg. countdowns and similar stuff, because it's faster than just looping a timer each "millisecond".

How can you prove that this is actually faster?

Easy.

By using this line - SetTimer("OneSecTimer", 1000, true);
I got this output for 10 seconds:

Код:

[12:29:47] 1 - Ticks: 1092
[12:29:48] 2 - Ticks: 1090
[12:29:49] 3 - Ticks: 1090
[12:29:50] 4 - Ticks: 1080
[12:29:51] 5 - Ticks: 1100
[12:29:52] 6 - Ticks: 1090
[12:29:54] 7 - Ticks: 1080
[12:29:55] 8 - Ticks: 1085
[12:29:56] 9 - Ticks: 1085
[12:29:57] 10 - Ticks: 1095

And as you can see, it even skips a second, so this takes about 11 seconds
But with my easy script, I got this output:

Код:

[11:00:11] 1 - Ticks: 1002
[11:00:12] 2 - Ticks: 1002
[11:00:13] 3 - Ticks: 1002
[11:00:14] 4 - Ticks: 1001
[11:00:15] 5 - Ticks: 1001
[11:00:16] 6 - Ticks: 1001
[11:00:17] 7 - Ticks: 1001
[11:00:18] 8 - Ticks: 1002
[11:00:19] 9 - Ticks: 1002
[11:00:20] 10 - Ticks: 1002

About 80 less milliseconds for "each second", and it doesn't skip any seconds.

How can I take advantage of this script?
Well, basically, you just edit the piece of code inside the tickcount check.
I thought about just posting this up in Script Tutorials, since this isn't really such a big script, and you have to edit it for your usage, but I figured out it probably fitted better in here.. Idk.
