MORE IMPORTANT UPDATE: Yeah, I had to get drunk enough, but I finally updated it. A few efficiency updates as well as now it re-triggers itself with the fancy (now half a decade old update feature). Only took me half a decade, but it's here. New Version RIGHT HERE! CLICK CLICK!

Important Update: Before I was checking if the timer already existed in the list of timers it checks by their name, and could cause some unintentional behavior. Now it works perfectly as intended.

Allows the countdown delay to be set to a certain amount of frames instead of seconds.

Setup: Add this script to a Programmable Block and create a timer that Triggers itself and the Programmable Block.

Add "Adv" (Without quotation marks, capitals matter) to the end of a timer name to mark it for Tick by Tick countdown. When you do so, the delay will be considered in terms of Ticks instead of seconds, and there is 60 ticks in a second (So 30 seconds delay would become half a seconds delay)

Be aware if you remove Adv in the Timer Name it wont stop being a Precise Timer until you reload the world or you recompile the programming block.

Be aware that it takes up to 10 seconds for the script to recognize a newly named timer. So wait 10 seconds after you renamed the timer before testing it.

(When I say frame above, I mean a Sim Tick. I say Frame since it is more intuitive to more people. This means that this script is not affected by your FPS, but only by Sim Speed, which is good)
