You specify the "send" time in a script as a time duration, but the engine converts that to a specific date/time and stores it in the pendingMessages as a specific point in time.

It doesn't really count seconds, it stores the trigger-time as a specific date/time.

There are many cases in which I would wish for a send that used a true delta in time regardless of changes in clock settings. (This is related to my wish for a timer function, similar to the long seconds, that is not connected to a clock and especially is not even-second resynced at times as in Windows and some Mac OS)

I still think you will all find that maintaining a built-in timer with tight
accuracy is too much work. Just poll the current time and base your
calculations on that.

If my wish for a true delta-time send came true and the clock based one was lost, then this approach will still work.
