MISC: Make spawn able to have 0 delay (#1333) This eliminates a hole where spawn was unrelaible, because other scripts could jump in and steal the RAM. It's not an API break, because 0 used to be an invalid value. 2024-06-29 03:41:41 +02:00			`Number of milliseconds to delay before spawning script, defaults to 10000 (10s).
