“Delay” Attribute issue of XML code

[Lolien-Rhinah]

Disclaimers

• I have searched the issue tracker to check if the issue has already been reported.
• My issue happened while using mods.

What happened?

Any StatusEffect when using "delay" attribute, When they effective on characters (Like affliction, or write in character self) , this StatusEffect will execute on the coordinate of delay timer's Begin, not the coordinate of timer's End. This problem it's most obvious in execute Spawn Action (Like creature, item or particles).

Example:
(StatusEffect type="OnDeath" target="This" delay="30")
(SpawnCharacter speciesname="hammerheadspawn" count="30" spread="100"/)
(/StatusEffect)

↑ when this SE write in a Creature (Character), in correctly, when it's dead, hammerheadspawn will be spawn around this creature's body after 30 sec, Whatever how to push the body aside, hammerheadspawn Will always spawned on body side, but after "Calm Before The Storm" update, This code will spawned hammerheadspawn at the position of this creature have be killed, not the body side; If something push it aside, The hammerheadspawn will spawn in the wrong place (Will spawn in coordinate of delay's begin).

This problem have no much lethality for vanilla game, but it's harmful for MODs, Especially for Creature Packs.

Reproduction steps

When Any StatusEffect using "delay" attribute working on a creature (Or we call it "Characters"), whatever the StatusEffect it's write in affliction or character.xml. But fortunately, items have no this problem...
