Variable Timer

Today I will be showing how to make a timer without using the built-in timer.

What made you think of this?
In a series I'm remaking, World of Chaos, on the 3rd game, I needed a timer for when the character transformed to a werewolf. So I evented a timer because when the built-in timer went off, it will interrupt battle AND you can only have one timer at a time. So I improvised.

You will need the following...
1 Variable for each timer you want
1 Conditional branch
1 Common Event for each timer
1 Switch

Go to the "Wait" in the 2nd event tab in the upper-right corner. Make it 60 frames as 60 frames = 1 second.

You need to make a variable for the timer. Name it whatever you like, imma name mine "Timer 1." After that, you need to check when the Timer = 0 by doing a conditional branch for it.

Vectra, what's happening here?
The variable is treated as the timer. Every 60 frames, the variable (timer) will go down by own. This should be in a parallel process common event. Due to this, you'll need a switch to activate it (its that "condition switch" in the upper-right corner).

Notice how I turn the switch off when it reaches zero. That is so it doesn't continue into the negatives.





When you want the timer to start at a number, you make the variable equal that number before calling the common event:




Any questions?
