Simple Timer Event! Help!

[JosephVincent96]

I'm working on a project, where my 1st level you have a guy running through a timed maze, kinda like saw, but when i choose the timer event, it goes down 1 second, then stops. Can someone help me? :sad:

Do you have a parallel-process event checking the timer?

 

[LaDestitute]

Did you make sure you didn't actually set it to one second?

Miles Castea: I made the timer 3minutes
Unka Josh: can u explain, im kinda a noob @ this...i used to use rm2k3 so im a little off

Once you start a timer, it'll count down, but nothing will actually happen when it's done unless you have a parallel-process event checking the timer count. So you'll need to have one, and a conditional branch that ends the game or whatever if the timer gets too low.

ok. thanks

heh...uhm how would i go about doing that? i have turned on the timer, then turned on a switch called "timer Start"...then what?

Then you need another event, parallel-process, that's turned on when that switch is on.

That event needs to have a Conditional Branch checking the timer. From there, it just depends on what you want to actually happen when the timer reaches zero.
