Is there a way to???

[xgamexfreakx]

Hey all! I was wondering if there was a way to start the timer based on the value of a variable. This obviously requires a script as there is no option for it in the control timer event. If a variable is 20, then could I start the timer at 20 seconds????

Also, the script for turning off the timer in the FAQ isn't working. I keep getting a syntax error from it on line 6 (where you set the switch). What stupid mistake am I making there to make it not want to work right???....nevermind I figured this out....  :blush:

Any help would be apprecitated! Thanks!

You should be able to use the call script:

$game_system.timer = $game_variables[ID] * Graphics.frame_rate
$game_system.timer_working = true

Obviously change ID into whatever variable ID you want.

Hope this helps.
