Both are not amazing, I didn't read all of the above thread, but it has the answers. My thought is that, polled wait is more accurate in multiplayer then trigger sleep action. Im probably wrong but w/e. The most accurate, by far, however, is a timer~ So use timers~

Timers are the most accurate? are you sure?

i remember making a timer for every 0.03 seconds and i put a debug msg in the timer itself.

then i used TriggerSleepAction(0.30) seconds then destroyed the timer

so 30 / 3 should be 10 right? but the timer runs more than 10 times usually... though it might be because im using triggersleep instead of PolledWait =\

PolledWait leaks
There's a leak free version somewhere around...

Anyway, PolledWait uses TriggerSleepAction to wait most of the time, and it creates and starts a timer for the details...

TriggerSleepAction is just that, it waits...
Unfortunately, it's not all that precise.
Especially on really short delays.
Waiting 0.3 might be 0.3, but it could just as well be 0.32...

Timers are precise. Very. Always.
