Timed Event System

Source file: client/engine/systems/systems_functions/TimedEventSystem.cpp

Purpose: Execute cooldown-based periodic actions for each entity.

Components used:

• TimedEvents (list of CooldownAction with cooldown, cooldown_max, and action callback)
• GameWorld (last_delta_ used as time step)

Behavior

• For each entity with TimedEvents, increments each action's cooldown by game_world.last_delta_.
• When cooldown exceeds cooldown_max, resets it to 0 and executes action(entityId) if set.
• Supports chaining multiple independent periodic actions on the same entity (e.g., auto-fire, timed effects).

Main signature

void TimedEventSystem(Eng::registry &reg, GameWorld &game_world,
    Eng::sparse_array<Com::TimedEvents> &timed_events);

Notes

• No ordering guarantees beyond the vector order of cooldown_actions.
• Frame-rate independent thanks to delta time usage.
