Is there a way to use a time limit to activate switches or common events?

[SoulBlade32]

Basically I am using a class that has spells dependent on the weather. She can change the weather by using a spell but I want the weather that she creates to run on a time limit. That way, when the time limit is up, the weather will change back to normal thus blocking her ability to use certain spells. Thanks in advance for any help

Maybe use the "Wait" command? Or how about the "Timer" that loops?

The timer doesn't work as it just activates a timer on the screen then goes to the next line for the event. I tried using the wait command but it makes it so you can't move at all while the even is playing. So once the spell is cast the player wouldn't be able to move for the duration of the spell. This defeats the point as you cant actually do anything with it then.

You can just have the spell turn on a switch that triggers a parallel common event that will increase a specific variable by 1 every 60 frames (which should be equal to 1 second in most cases) and also check the value of said variable. If it reaches a certain amount (let's say, 200), it will set the variable to 0, change the weather to whatever the default one is supposed to be and turn the relevant switches off, including the one that activetes the common event.

Maybe make a different, separate event that is parallel and uses the "Wait" command/function?
