I want to make a time based event, where you have for example 5 minutes to get out of a tower or else you die, but I cant seem to find the appropriate events to make such a event.

Can anyone please help me?

First event page there's a 'control timer' option, use that along with a parallel process conditional branch :P Look before asking -_-

So i put the timer on an event and then put the conditional branch on the transfer player event?

No. Well, it depends. If it's the whole 'you have for example 5 minutes to get out of a tower or else you die' then why would you have to be at the door before you die? Wouldn't die before you get to the door? Look, make a parallel process event on the map (if it's only one map, if you start on one map but the door is another map then you'll either have to copy+paste the event to each of the tower maps or make a common event) with a conditional branch, the timer is on bottom of the first page of the conditional branch option. Set minutes to 5 and leave the 'or More' the way it is. Hit OK and then put whatever you want to happen if the timer is over 5 mins to happen, like show a text and transfer the player back to the beginning or bring up theload screen or w/e.

I suck at explaining things -_- It's really a very simple thing you're trying to do so if you don't understand what I said just ask.

I assume you already solved your problem, Murr, seeing as it's [Resolved]? If not, this a visual representation:



Though...I don't know if it's quite the same thing as HD explained (It seems for him, the timer is going up rather down? O.o). The way I did it has a descending timer. o3o

The best thing is when thinking of a scenario or thing you want to do, just go look at all the possible event commands and seeing what kind of interesting solution you can get out of those.

I thought it was resolved, until i tired it, but it seems putting the conditional branch on the teleporter screwed it up. ^_^

But if you say i should put it on its event tile somewhere ill try it.

Btw HD, i suck at explaining too ^_^
Thx for your answers tho, they helped alot.

Well, if you want to put it on the door too, that /can/ work. Just have that Conditional Branch on the door. :)

"If timer is 0 seconds or less":
Message: The door is locked.
"Else"
*fancy open door effects*
Transfer Player~

Wheeeeeee~

It's just a bit unconventional to do that, no? And glad that it worked out for you (At least, I hope it did? O.o)

Hmmm, maybe its something wrong in what im doing in VX or its just different. Your picture looks different from VX, are you using XP?
And sometimes I cant move after killing the boss that starts the switch that has the event.

Because it didnt work. I tried using both "or Less" and "or More" choices.
