Stop Watch?

[RadDevVan101]

You know the Indie Games that Have that Stopwatch at the Center of the Top of the Screen? It counts down how long you've been playing? That one, Yeah I want one of those because i'm planning to be apart of the "Indies VS PewDiePie" GameJam on GameJolt and I want to have something Like that (No Need for Saving the Stopwatch time because the Loading and Saving System is going unused)

Edit: Acctualy I was reading the rules and I'll need people to make the Stopwatch during the 72 Hour Period

Edit 2: The Stopwatch will Count Upwards and not Downwards (What Stopwatch Counts Downwards?)

Edit 2-2: The Stopwatch will not be for the Jam because i'm an inpatient [must resist urge to type swear word]

Sorry, when you say Stopwatch & counting down, do you mean the Timer event command?

Or do you mean that you need a stopwatch to count time upwards? The later would require a script.

I've moved this thread to RGSS3 Script Requests. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


Because I assume it will be a script. Just sounds like a window that displays the current game time (which I think you normally see in the regular menu?) Though what do you mean by it counts down how long you've been playing - if it counts how long you've been playing, it will count up, not down.


You'd better post a link to the GameJam so anyone wanting to do this for you can read the rules also, and maybe know when the 72 hour period begins and ends.

There is such a thing as Script Request Sections? I better start using it... or maybe it was in the back of my mind... and then Several Seconds later I forget about such a section because i'm a moron

Depends on the functionality of the stopwatch.

I can't figure out how to use it, it's not very helpful on how to use it... It doesn't show anything but text showing what to do and never explains how to set up times... I want to use something that explains how to use it properly

 

[Shaz]

You don't need to set up times if you just want it to count up your playtime.

I don't know what you expect me to explain. Do you have any experience with RPG Maker?

"It doesn't show anything but text showing what to do and never explains how to set up times... I want to use something that explains how to use it properly"

Or you can not be lazy and figure it out.

If you dont understand something dont just quit or reject it. Take some time to figure it out, if you still dont get something ask for help. (Life lesson)

That is a great script and you might not find another. I know I wouldnt write a script for someone if one exists, unless im getting payed. Its just pointless.

If it "just has text showing what to do" say what you are not getting and someone can help. As a scriptwriter myself, i would never dumb down my instructions so a beginner can understand them. It would take too long and there is too many unknown factors to know what they'd do or not do wrong. However i would always help if asked.

 

[Tsukihime]

I guess the instructions would have been made twice as effective if I just said "in the event editor, set up a timer"

It doesn't really take that much time to quickly explain how to set up a clock.

1. Go to event editor, find the "Control Timer" command"2. Choose how much time you have3. Start

Of course if OP expected pictures (as opposed to "just text") then I wouldn't do that.

 

[Susan]

@Tsukihime, I apologize for causing you this unnecessary grief.

 

[Tsukihime]

I like the fact that others are sharing my scripts.


Looking at the instructions again, it is pretty obscure and kind of assumes you already know everything about events. As a scripter, if your role is to provide scripts for others to use, it would only help to make it easier to understand.


Cause some people using my scripts are first-time users and just want to jump straight into making this crazy mechanic rather than learn how to use the engine.

You don't need to set up times if you just want it to count up your playtime.

It's like one of those games where you need so survive and a timer counts how long you have survived

Well thank you

Yes I do... i've been using it for a while now but i've been away from communities for a long time and decided not to use them...
