I set a timer, in RPG Maker XP, and when it's 0:00 battles don't happen!

[John McEvan]

How can I avoid this? I want battles to happen even while timer is 0:00...There should be some script to avoid battles being interrupted when a timer is 0:00... Please I really need your help because I have  deadline, I'm really looking forward to your reply.

It would help if you could clarify some things:

Is the timer the default RMXP timer?
What do you mean when you say "battle"?
Are you using a CBS or the DBS?

 

[John McEvan]

Yes it's the default timer. I put it countin 3 minutes during which there are fights, but when it reaches zero I leave it as it is. What happens is that all the battles, battles are normal encounters, with the battle system that comes with the game, are automatically interrupted when the timer in the corner is 0:00. I don't want to make the 0:00 disappear from the corner, I just want the battles to happen while the 0:00 is on the corner. It's probably something in the script that tells the game to interrupt battles when the timer is 0:00... Hope you can help me I'm trying to explain the best way I can.

So, you set random encounters in the map properties, turn on timer, when timer reaches zero, no matter how many designated steps you walk, random encounters don't execute?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[John McEvan]

Not exactly, random encounters begin but end right after they begin. It's not just my problem, it will happen in your game too. Just start a new project, start a timer with 0:00 and set random encounters in the area. You'll see what happens when encounters occur. As it happens to everyone it must be something in the RPG Maker XP script that you can change...

Off Topic: How can I get rid of a Trojan Horse it's fucking up my computer and the anti-virus doesn't remove it. It came by my USB Pen and now this is slow as hell...

Here's the culprit:  in Scene_Battle, lines 244-247

    if $game_system.timer_working and $game_system.timer == 0
      # Abort battle
      $game_temp.battle_abort = true
    end

Just remove those lines of code.

 

[John McEvan]

Thanks a lot! I had already found the solution, but still thank you so much because I needed this a lot!

And after 2 hours of battling, Trojan Horse is dead too, haha!!!

I'm glad you got your problems solved.
