Timers

[Tenoukii 0]

Hi (:

I want to make something happen after a certain amount of time, but can't seem to make it work.

I tried just the timer, then the timer with a conditional branch. I can't think of any other ways, so any solutions would be appreciated

Thankss!

Have you tried using it with common events in the database? If not you should try it there with switches and branches just make sure the common event is set to run on parallel.

Tell us what exactly are you trying to do?

I was hoping that the original post was pretty clear, but I'm obviously still no good at explaining "/

I want a scene to happen after a specific amount of time (while showing the timer)

I'm using Moghunter's(?) Timer script [so it looks nicer]

 

And I haven't tried common events as I was hoping to keep it in the event I have on the map "/

Post the event you have here and I'll take a look at it.

Simple example:

 

Event page 1) Trigger: Autorun

@>Control Timer: Startup (0 min. 10 sec)

@>Control Self Switch: A = ON

 

Page 2) Condition: Self Switch A is ON, Trigger: Parallel Process

@>Conditional Branch: Timer 0 min 0 sec or less

@>Text: Timer ended. Do your stuff here

@>Control Self Switch: B = ON

: Branch End

 

Page 3) Condition: Self Switch B is ON, Trigger: Action Button

 

 

Depending on the complexity of your "scene" (I assume you meant 'cutscene')

on Page 2 you might set Self Switch B, and go to page 3 with "Autorun" again to control the cutscene,

then set Self-Switch C & go to page 4 to halt everything.

You can set the timer in one event, and check it in another (or several others) if need be.

 

Experiment with it. The important thing is to only set the timer once. (change pages right after setting timer)

 

Be Well
