I am trying to use Yanfly's Button Common Events to assign a stealth mode to particular button. So the bulk of the work here is in creating a stealth mode in a common event. I was thinking that I would have the screen tint to indicate the mode is active, turn on a switch that will make my enemy events unresponsive while the switch is on, and turn on a short timer which will un-tint the screen and turn the switch back off once it reaches zero. The problem I am having is that everything I have read about how to accomplish this sort of thing with the control timer has been about regular events, and relied on using multiple event pages, which is something I can't do in a common event. Is there a way to accomplish what I need in a common event?
Thank you for your time,

With common events, you'll need multiple events. One common event for every page of the similiar map event.
And you need to use a general switch to trigger the parallel common event because common events have no self-switches. -

Thanks! So, if I'm understanding you correctly, I would just need the initial common event assigned to a key, then a separate parallel process event on each map with a conditional branch for when the timer runs out. Does that sound right?
Thanks again!

No. You don't need any map event unless you need them for something else.
You need a single parallel process common event for checking the timer started by the other common event. -
Thanks for the clarification! I'll be putting this to use today. Thanks so much!
