Trying to create a skill

[xjermariox]

Hello

Im trying to create a skill that increase your character movement speed on the map for a certain amount of time. The way i want it to work is that you use the skill from the menu then you character movement speed increase for about 30 secs or so then your movement it back to normal. Is this possible with events? Ive use the search function and didnt really find anything so I apologize if this has already been answered plenty of times.

Thanks

You'd link the skill to a common event and then in the common event use the set move route to up the hero's speed.

^ How would you get the speed back to normal though within a time limit? Ive tried this but the speed stays fast.

In the common event, turn on the timer.
Also, turn on a switch, let's call it 0001:Speed_Timer_On

Set Move Route: Player
    Change Speed: 6
Control Timer: Startup (0 min. 10 sec.)
Control Switches: [0001: Speed_Timer_On] = ON

Now, create another common event
Set the Trigger to Parallel, and the Condition Switch to 0001: Speed_Timer_On

Conditional Branch: Timer 0 min 0 sec or less
    Set Move Route: Player
        Change Speed: 4
    Control Switches: [0001: Speed_Timer_On] = OFF
    Branch End

tear it up! 

Be Well

Wow thanks man thats exactly what i was looking for. I really appreciate the help. Oh and one more thing will the timer stay at the top corner of the screen at 0:00? If so thats ok I can live with it. Thanks again.

Oooops!

Try adding a

Control Timer: Stop

to the 2nd event

Yup that did it thanks Brewmeister.  ;D

EDIT: Sorry for the bother again, but there is one more thing. About the timer lets said while the skill is in affect I run into a random battle. When the timer hits 0:00 the battle ends is there a way to prevent this?

Ah. Now for that, you'll need something slightly more innovative than using a basic timer. Why not use variables?

Make one common event, which the skill links to, as this:

And the second common event, waits for 10 frames, and then adds to the variable. When it reaches a desired number (20, as I have made it.), the skill gets over, and you're returned back to the default speed:

That's it, enjoy!

PS: Notice how the common event triggers have been setup. Also, I made the temporary disabling system, so that the player can't use the skill when it's already active. ^_^

Thanks Krypton you guys are amazing that this stuff lol. ;D I had a little trouble with the skill disable, but i think i figured it out.
The skill disable should be turned off when the start timer is turned off.

Thanks again the skill is finally perfect thanks guys.
