Timer manager

[Amaroq7]

Description

Timer manager should responsible for creating, executing, removing tasks. Timer would be destroyed after finished execution (one time task) or by using Remove(). Timer with repeat flag could be destroyed returning PluginStop in its callback or by executing Remove().

Example plugin api:

enum TimerFlag
{
    None = 0,
    Repeat = (1<<0)
};

typeset TimerCallback
{
    function PluginReturn (Task task);
    function PluginReturn (Task task, any data);
};

methodmap Task
{
    Task(float time, TimerCallback func, any data = 0, TimerFlag flags = None);
    Remove();
    Trigger();
    Change(float interval, bool trigger = true);
};

Expected behavior (i.e. solution)

SPMod should expose api for plugins and modules to manage timers.

Suggestion for flags InstantCall - call callback after creating task without waiting timer Annoying example

TaskCallback(id);
set_task(1.0, "TaskCallback", id, .flags = "b");

My suggestion is to add pause and unpause methods . It can help us to show user HUD when user is alive (spawn) and pause it when he was dying.
