Earlier tonight I tried setting a script to launch from Timer #16.

Nothing happened.

I changed it to Timer #15.

The script launched.

Is the scripting code designed to only allow fifteen unique timers, or did I stumble onto a bug?

If this is a design issue rather than the latter, does Plotscript handle the retooling of timer numbers (as in using the same number for many different instances in the game) gracefully, or am I at risk of corrupting onscreen performance?

Also, if there is a purposed limit, the Wiki doesn't list it, just to let you know.

There are only 16 timers (0 thru 15)

That definitely needs to be documented. Also, right now, using an out-of-range timer fails silently. It ought to at least write a warning to g_debug.txt

You can re-use your timer IDs, you just can't have two different timers running on the same ID at the same time.
