Accurate Soldier Statue Entity

Timing Needed
since i'm looking to get an accurate port of the entity_soldier_statue entity in TF2, i'm trying to get an accurate timing of the voice lines.

what i've found:
  • it says a Soldier.Statue voice line every ~16 seconds
  • if a player is more than 256 units away from the statue when it tries to speak, it "cancels" it
  • if the player approaches within the 256 units again after it "canceled" it, it says the line ~0.5 seconds later

now, i'm pretty sure the timing is randomised since spawning a bunch of them and then approaching the thing doesn't make every lines get spoken at the exact same time. this addon uses an approximation of the "random timing" i quickly gathered myself. it'd be nice if someone could inspect this further and get more approximate numbers.
