Smoothly Animated Status Bar... Help!

[Capadillo]

I'm looking to smoothly animate a custom attribute bar. Currently I am using ZO_StatusBar_SmoothTransition. It's nice and simple but it does what the default bars are doing.

That is, because EVENT_POWER_UPDATE only fires every couple of seconds, it has a stop-start animation. I'm looking to make it a completely smooth animation without stopping, but I don't know how to accommodate for the period of time between updates without making the bar slower.

I've tried a couple of different ideas with all of them not working or having too many drawbacks to be of real use.

Any input would be appreciative!
