I saw that Dr. G had some interest in effects and I figured I wanted to take a look at it as well.rnrnHad a question about this though. I see 1<<12 is a special deci seconds notation, but some searches on Google provided me nothing notation.rnI assume deci being ten its a tenth of a second, but I still don't understand how to read 1<<12. Also if I am right, is there a limit I can set it to or should I just work with a timer? (a times set_task?)rnrnAnd whats the difference between holdtime and duration, to me that sounds both as the time the effect lasts?rnrn
