[BUG-6986] Issue with BUG-5962 causing problems with Spellfire/Unity weapons in metered combat

[sl-service-account]

Steps to Reproduce

Meter fighting, in both large and small groups, also in one on one.

Actual Behavior

Many weapons systems throw a damage prim and set range based upon how long the prim lives. The most popular of these is the Spellfire/Unity weapons. Suddenly the different range settings for different weapons are not working. These are set in the thrown damage prim by setting a timer at the end of which a die comand is issued. All the weapons seem to have the same die delay.

Expected Behavior

FOr the scripts to work as they are designed to and have worked since 2006

Other information

The cost in time and effort for the builders of weapons would be staggering. I am holding off on purchasing any weapons until this is resolved. Once the issue is resolved, I expect to be purchasing a number of weapons which would require me to purchase several thousand lindens for some of the weapons I wish to purchase.
