I was maning half of one of the combat updates. I know about the PULSE_PER_SECOND and that the mud has 4 pulses per second. And thats used as a timing peice for things like tick wish is 60 * PULSE_PER_SECOND. So I could do half a second or half an update if I run it on 2 pulses to every update. That way I can do half a second, or a full second.
