Hi, I'm trying to make my map a certain tint but so far I cannot figure out how to keep the tint running on forever instead of making it on for a certain amount of time... I hope I explained that right, thank you in advance!

If you Tint Screen in the Event Commands, it should keep going for as long as you need, as far as I know.

The "Tint Screen" event command has a Time field, but that only specifies how long it will take for the screen to reach the tint you specified. So if you choose "60" frames, it will take 1 second to fully tint the screen, but will then stay tinted forever, until you change the tint back to Normal.

Oh! I thought it meant how long it will be tinted! Thank you so much!

You put it in a parallel process event so the screen is tinted when the map is revealed, then you do an Erase Event. Tint Screen stays until you turn it off (or go to a new map, I think), so you don't need the parallel process to keep running - it just causes lag.
