Introduction

We all know that the default timer is pretty basic. This plugin aims to add to it some new features that give you more control over your timer.

Features

• Pause/Resume timer.
• Start timer paused.
• Add/Remove seconds and minutes.
• You can change it to count upwards(1, 2, 3, 4...) instead of default count down.
• Turn on a switch when the timer is working.

How to use

The plugin parameters are self-explanatory.
If you choose to count up, you can still use the default timer command in the event tab.

Script calls

$gameTimer.addSeconds(value)
$gameTimer.addMinutes(value)
$gameTimer.removeSeconds(value)
$gameTimer.removeMinutes(value)
$gameTimer.change(value, unit) - Change unit for seconds/minutes/hours. Any will work. In fact, it's just need to start with 's', 'm' or 'h'. Like:
$gameTimer.change(40, seconds) - Will add 40 seconds for the timer.
$gameTimer.change(40, sec) - Will also add 40 sec for the timer.
*Use negatives value to remove.
$gameTimer.countUp() - Changes the timer to count up.
$gameTimer.countDown() - Changes the timer to count down.
$gameTimer.flow() - Will return 'Up' or 'Down', according to the flow of the timer.
$gameTimer.pause() - Pause the timer.
$gameTimer.resume() - Resume the timer.
$gameTimer.isPaused() - Returns true if the timer is paused.
$gameTimer.minutes() - Return the current minutes count.
$gameTimer.maxSeconds() or maxMinutes() - Returns the max value that timer has when it started or it will have when it finishes.

* The arguments(words inside the parenthesis) are not case sensitive.

Plugin Commands:

• StartTimer value unit
• TimerChange value unit
• PauseTimer
• ResumeTimer
• TimerFlow countFlow
• StopTimer
Change the value to a number.
Change unit to Seconds/Minutes
Change countFlow to 'Up' or 'Down'.
*They are not case sensitive.

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
