one minute timer-looped to make a noise each minute

[Silencher]

I want to make a common event in RMXP that goes in the background as a parallel process that makes an ME go off after 1 minute has passed and for this timer to loop. How could I do this?

You need to put "wait" in there. Then choose how many frames to wait. You will have to find out how many frames pass in a minute and put that number. I hope that helps.

I tried that and it didn't work... I set a common event to 'parallel' with a switch that needs to be activated.

In the body of the coommon event I put wait 585 frames(about 15 seconds) and did that 4 times, then 'play me'

I then made an event in the game that activates the switch to make the common event work and activated it..

I've waited 2-3 minutes while testing and it doesn't ever make the ME play. I'm not really sure what the problem is

In RMXP, one second is 20 frames.

585 frames = 29.25 seconds. Just use "Wait 600 frames" twice for 1 minute.

I just tried it, and it worked fine. Are you sure you're setting the right switch? or nothing else is turning it off?
