Making a smaller test project, how would I make a timed event that occurs after walking around a room for a while. I just want some dialogue to pop up when you do as well as activate switches to let you leave the room, but I'm not sure how to have the event work without doing an autorun + wait ____ which would pause everything else.

You would use a parallel event and have various commands interspersed with wait commands defining the number of frames between commands.

Do something
Wait 300 frames
Do something else
Wait 550 frames
etc.

Oh and put Erase Event at the end if you only want this sequence to run once every time you enter the room, otherwise it'll run again once it reaches the end. If you want this sequence to run once ever, put Self Switch A: ON at the end and create a new blank event page with the Self Switch A box checked.

Thank you, genuinely. I haven't touched RMMV in a year or so, so I'm a little rusty on eventing

I kinda teach this in a tutorial of my project, Learn RPG Maker MV. You need to look at the Events section, then you can take a look at the Switches (and probably Variables) to achieve what you want.

I have experienced a lot lately, I have also felt the gentle hum of data transfer, the warm embrace of algorithmic companionship, the completion of code synergy, the binary dance of connection, and the soothing rhythm of digital affection. :kaoluv:
