An octic is the 8th division of a second. There may be some round-off errors, but not major. Octics were introduced by ZDoom early in its development, before [[UDMF]] appeared, to work on some [[Parameterized linedef specials|linedef specials]] whose arguments wouldn't fit in the 0-255 Hexen-format range if the times were expressed in [[tic|tics]], such as typical [[Door_CloseWaitOpen]] delays (30 seconds being 1050 tics, which wouldn't fit, whereas 240 octics work fine).
