Timer Events Help!

So I am using Vlues Advanced Game Time.

A day lasts about 30 minutes in game.

Is there anyway to set an event for mercenary hire

Where it would be

Confirm you want to pay 400Gold to recruit a mercanary

After X time, you could get 

1000gold return

Items

(insert list)

with a different chance on each (or very least a variable that randomly selects one?

Cheers :)

(this can be using the AGT or just standard RPG Stuff)

Is your issue setting up X time, or setting up the random reward?


If it's the reward, you'd just set a variable to a random number between 1 and however many different rewards you want. Then use a series of nested conditional branches to check if the variable is equal to one of those numbers, give that reward.

I just knew that there is indeed script for timer event! wow...(thanks for sharing)


I usually just go use the timer provided by the rpmvxa directly.


so what I usually do:


1. Set conditional branch on common event parallel with switch I want(usually the switched are triggered on right from the start of the gameplay after tutorial and intro/prologue).


2. Set it so that when the timer hits X, change the tint, and then send text message with choice branches whether the player wants to pay 400 G or not.


3. Set it so that when the time hits Y, it will give the player random item and/or money (use control variable randomizer).


4. And then if the timer hits 0, restart the timer.....

Ahh cool, - its the timer aspect that is having me a bit confused

When you set a timer like this, does it bring a clock counting up/down on your screen or is it just behind the scenes?

When you use the Change Timer command to set the timer, it displays on the screen. You would need a script mod to stop that from happening.
