Event processing in another area

I have yet another problem. How can I get a process to run even when I have left the zone. For example a crop takes 2 minutes to grow. So I go into another zone is there a way to make that crop still grow?

Set timer+remember timer. then make a parallel common event, check if timer = 0, turn on switch+turn off the switch that was used to activate the common event.

That switch you turned on will trigger the page of the crop event which has the grown crop.

"Zone" is not a word from RM vocabulatory. If you're talking about maps, then no - only the map you currently are on exists, all other maps aren't even loaded into memory.


You can only simulate the processes by having timed common events, and only when you go to the other map the results from those common events can be applied to the (then current) map.

You can only have one timer running, by default. That means you are limited to a CROP, not cropS. And the timer displays on the screen, which is super ugly.


You can use my Multi-Timers script to give each event its own timer, which will continue regardless of what map you're on.

While this is true(well you can always make a special box for the timer via show pic. That would atleast make it look good, but yea the default only allows one timer)

There is a script out there that lets you have multiple timers.

or

You can use a game time variable instead, which there's no "real" limit on how many of those can be used at a time.

 
lol!

Lol I don't know how, but I overlooked the second line, my bad. It's 2am here, I evidently have been working on something in RM for the past 4h(it felt like an hour tops, but clocks don't lie lol), and didn't even notice. Damn time flies when you're busy working on something.
