I implemented them; one problem as of bpl11 (not certain if it's been fixed
or not but I suspect not) is that the timer value will not be saved when
you save
the objects in the zone. You'll need to fix this yourself.
The Circle FTP site has an attempt at a version of pl4 which should work
without
adding ANY OLC. Since I haven't seen a standard Oasis which will patch cleanly
into bpl14, I'm holding off on doing too much else in this line.
On the efficiency of using events... it's generally more efficient to look
at a
(properly sorted) event queue and do things that must be done than look all
through your mud (or a poorly sorted event queue) looking for something to do.
