Pause Timer

[Naveed]

So I was wondering if there was a way to pause the timer using script calls. It would be unfair for the player to have to lose precious seconds of the timer simply because there is a cutscene that is playing in between. I know the option isn't there from the event commands, so I thought if it was possible with a script call, or would it need an external plugin?

P.S: If it does require a plugin, feel free to move this to Plugin requests, or please provide a link to an existing plugin that has this feature.

Thanks in advanced ^_^

Yes.

$gameTimer.stop()If you want it to resume, you can say

$gameTimer.start($gameTimer.seconds() * 60)

However, note that when the timer is paused, it will automatically disappear because that's how the timer sprite is coded.Alternatively, if you use this plugin: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/50884-timer-pause/

You can pause and resume the timer while keeping the timer on screen using the following script calls

$gameTimer.pause()$gameTimer.resume()
