(Fake) TimerUtils is buggy.

Code:

library TimerUtils 
    globals
        timer array udg_timerstack
        integer udg_ntimer = 0
    endglobals

    function NewTimer takes nothing returns timer
        if udg_ntimer == 0 then
            return CreateTimer()
        else
            set udg_ntimer = udg_ntimer-1
            return udg_timerstack[udg_ntimer]
        endif
    endfunction

    function ReleaseTimer takes timer t returns nothing
        if udg_ntimer == 8190 then
            call BJDebugMsg("Warning- you need 8191 timers at once!?")
            call DestroyTimer(t)
        else
            set udg_timerstack[udg_ntimer] = t
            set udg_ntimer = udg_ntimer + 1
        endif
    endfunction
endlibrary

This the is TimerUtils code I'm using. I'm hoping that it is outdated or something, because it is causing many bugs in my map.

The NewTimer() function sometimes just doesn't work. Is there a specific way I'm supposed to use this? If so, please enlighten me.

Right now I'm using the NewTimer() for perodic effect and attaching handles to it via hashtable and GetHandleId(). Any spell that uses NewTimer doesn't work 10% of the time. That's why I think it is really buggy and unreliable. When I change it to CreateTimer() it works completely fine.

Thanks.

Question though, you can only assign 1 value to the timer with SetTimerData? That's kind of weird? On the otherhand, are you supposed to attach structs to it?

Deaod	yes you are supposed to attach structs to timer.
