Add seconds to the timer

[Kes]

Normally when the timer is used to set a limit to how long the player has to complete something, it starts at the given length and counts down to zero, at which point the player has run out of time.

However, what I would like to be able to do is to provide something which will extend the length of time available by adding X number seconds back on to the timer. So, for example, the player hits a switch which adds 20 seconds on to the time still available.

How would I go about doing that?

Thanks.

Galv has a script that ought to do what you want.

That does indeed look like exactly what's needed.
Thank you very much.

Can also be done with a script call.

$game_timer.start($game_timer.sec * 60 + 1200)

You'll need to convert seconds to frames by multiplying by 60. The above adds 20 seconds to the timer.

@Rinobi Even nicer, as it means I don't have to have a whole script just for one function (though I'll keep that script in mind for another project.)
Thank you.
