Respawn timer for town income, help?

[Dark Squall]

Ok in my game I have it where you own a town and i cant get it so that every 15min when you check your town income book you get a message saying something like 'todays town income is 1000gold' then you get 1000gold but if the time has still not run out it says 'the gold has not been collected yet.

I need it on a loop for every 15min of the game played. please help i cant seem to do it =[

The best way would be to set a timer.. but it will appear on your screen, If you don't mind..

Like:

  @Conditional Branch= Timer = 0:00
   @Text: The gold has been collected!
    @Change gold + 1000
     @Set Timer: 15min
   Else
@Text: The gold hasn't been collected yet.

Or something like that.. If you can't still do it, I'll make a demo.

Make a common event, parallel process, with a switch like "town owned" = ON, or something around those lines, as a condition. Inside, put a bunch of wait commands (being that RMXP runs at 20 frames per second and VX at 60 frames per second, I'll let you do the maths) and turn another switch on (you could name it "Can collect income").

For your income book, make a conditional branch that checks whether "Can collect income" is on or not, and after you collect it, turn that same switch off.

I figured it out.


Make a common event parallel on turn it [ON], then put this in it.

 @Wait: 18000 frames  *
   @Text: The gold has been collected!
    @Change gold + 1000
     @Set Timer: 15min
  @Loop Above.

* 60 x 15 x 20 frames = X seconds in 15 minutes


Remember to make it Parallel, not autorun, otherwise It won't let you move or call the menu.
