What RPG Maker version are you using?

Do tell, but it no longer matters. I'm guessing your using either RM2k3, XP, or VX. If 2000, then I have to install it sense I, for some odd reason, haven't installed it on my laptop.

---------
I am going to write out how a code would look when set as a code, not individual instructions on building it, unless you request that I do so. In order for me to do write those instructions step by step I need you to specify the RPG Maker version your using. (95, 2000, 2003, XP, VX).


Example of layout of code

EVENT 001 <== Event Name -------- <== Break (Everything Below this needs to be made) <>Message: Text <== What actually needs to be made.

PHP Code:

# File Begins Timer and Sets In Motion EVN 003 


EVN 001 -------- @>Comment: <!-- Code Begin --> @>Text: -, -, Dark, Middle : : You have 5 seconds to reach the other side. @>Control Timer: Startup (0 min 5 sec.) @>Control Switches: [0001: Define Time] = ON @>

PHP Code:

# This Code Stops the Timer and Prevents EVN 003 from Executing 


EVN 002 -------- @>Control Timer: Stop @>Control Switches: [0001: Define Time] = OFF @>

PHP Code:

// IMPORTANT: Set "Trigger" to "Parallel Process". 
// IMPORTANT: Set Switch "0001:Define Time" to checked
// IMPORTANT: Hide the Event so that the player can't touch it
# Event Handles Timer and togles Game Over 


EVN 003 -------- @>Control Variables: [0001:Timer] = Timer @>Conditional Branch: Variable [0001:Timer] == 0 @>Game Over @> : Branch End @>

Hey Lenny, this should be added to the list sticked guides.

A lot of people are probably wondering how to go about making a timer for a castle and what not in their games for RM2k3-VX.
