When timer is 0:00, because I set a timer, battles are interrupted. How can I...

[John McEvan]

How can I avoid this? There should be some script to avoid battles being interrupted when a timer is 0:00... Please I really need your help because I have  deadline, I'm really looking forward to your reply.

RPG Maker XP's what I'm using. Please I need your help very badly, I really mean it.

...end the timer?

I want to keep it at 0:00. It's the way it should happen in the game. What can I do in the game's cript for it to stop interrupting battles when timer is 0:00?

If you don't understand my question, just create a new RMXP project, set parallel process with a timer starting at 0:00 and set random encounters in the area, then test play.

you should use a different timer anyway... the RMXP one is bad, and it just cant be edited like all the user frindly scripts here... i recommend searching for a new one or coding one yourself to your needs... its the easiest way for anything to be "perfect"

I can't script ANYTHING... that's the problem...

Hey, which "friendly user" script do you suggest me to use, and how do I use it the same way as the normal timer that comes with the game?
I don't know any scripting at all so it's hard for me to get over this problem... And is there really no way to make the default timer not interrupt battles when it's 0:00?

well the scene_battle 1 uses the timer to determine when the battle should end... as such it will always close when the tiemr is 0... BUT if you remove line 242 and lines 245 to 248:

242: $game_system.update
---
245: if $game_system.timer_working and $game_system.timer == 0
246:   # Abort battle
247:   $game_temp.battle_abort = true
248: end

then the timer wont update during battle (wont decrease) and the battle wont end when the timer = 0

i think... i looked and saw and wrote... didnt test XD

 

[John McEvan]

well... if i want the timer to still decrease durign battle, but not end battle when it reaches zero, should i just delete the last 3 lines you mentioned?

 

[mechacrash]

yes

 

[John McEvan]

It works!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for finding those lines, I really needed to do this!

 

[mechacrash]

no probs... its what we scripters must do (plays heroic music)
