Need a bit of help

Use it if you must, but avoid it if possible. Darkfire did consider this so the example isn't bad, but I want to elaborate on "bug the game."

Every time a callback is triggered (including timers), an index is incremented. This index must not exceed 65535, else the game will crash upon next loading screen.

Usually this is only a worry if you use a rapidly repeating timer. Darkfire's example loops about 5 times in 2 seconds, so it's frequent, but not rapid. To put this into perspective, if you loop a timer as fast as possible, being 60 times in 1 second, you will hit the limit in about 15 minutes of gameplay.

If you can avoid hitting the limit in about 3 hours, I say you're good to do as you please regarding these. This is an engine limitation.
