RPG Maker Forums

So, I recently purchased RPG Maker VX Ace :) and I'm pretty content with it, but I've run into a problem. For my game, I have a spot where a certain portion of the game has to be completed within a certain time frame, otherwise bad things happen (I think I'll make it an automatic game over, but I'm not sure yet). However, my game also includes an inn, but I can't find a way to make it so if the player decides to stay at the inn, it will shorten the amount of time the player has left. Optimally, I would just create two variables, one to store the amount of minutes remaining and one to store the amount of seconds remaining, store the values set by the timer, stop the timer, change the values, then set the timer to the new values, but I can't set the timer's time to a variable.

Does anyone know of an effective work around?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
