Special Note on timer.value and Events

Changes in a timer's value property do not generate events.

The timer node's value property may be read, written, and will self-count-down when the timer is running. However, changes in this property (whether externally applied or self-generated) never cause events. This is a notable exception to nearly every other property in SHIP and is by design. This prevents large numbers of events, one every tenth of a second for every timer.
