so instead of timer = next_tick_timer we gotta do timer += next_tick_timer

(that is, dont while())

so timer.HasPassed() will be triggered in two ticks when checked

but then there is this include in object.h topic again. we need to forward that stuff. alternatively this would be a first great spot to build a util module that can be imported

anyway the proposed SimpleIntervalTimer "does the right thing" here

and it's another reason why it's important to pass the actual diff time rather than interval

i vaguely recall an issue with wintergrasp timers because of that, they will drift over time because of something similar

unfortunately your implementation is not good either (i would say its actually way worse)

I probably made a mistake, I haven't got around to testing it lol

for simplicity lets say you have a timer ticking every 2 seconds and you are using it to feed another timer like weather update code
if you now get a lag spike where the diff is 5 seconds then this will happen after the spike
1st tick subtracts 2s off m_timer (3s remains) but returns 5s - you advance weather internal timer by 5s
2nd world tick happens at normal rate, removing 2s off m_timer again (1s remains) and returns 3s - you advance weather internal timer by 3s
you ended up advancing internal weather timer by 8s instead
