why don't you post that code?

well..let me ask this: what are you trying to do? from what i can infer,
you are trying to have a combat system that will use calculated speed
rather than standard 2 second rounds..if this is the case, i'd
suggest using the dg_event system to create events that will call the
hit() func (or whatever)..it would be much less CPU intensive (no
decrementation of a roundtime var)..i did this a while ago using events
based on the dg system (extracted from the dg src, not the patch that is
now available), but didn't like the feel of event based combat..
