The event timer is often used for countdown purposes. However, sometimes you would like to have a bit more control over it, such as being able to pause and resume the timer, increase or decrease the seconds, minutes, or even hours on the timer. Don’t want a countdown timer? Why not have it count upwards instead? Experienced Lunatic Mode coders will be able to add in their own plugin commands, too!

The event timer is often used for countdown purposes. However, sometimes you would like to have a bit more control over it, such as being able to pause and resume the timer, increase or decrease the seconds, minutes, or even hours on the timer. Don’t want a countdown timer? Why not have it count upwards instead? Experienced Lunatic Mode coders will be able to add in their own plugin commands, too!

Notable Changes Made:
– Ability to separate timer sprite from the spriteset
– Timer is now capable of displaying hours
– Pause/resume functions for timer
– Increasing/decreasing seconds from timer
– Counting up instead of just count down

this plugin to control the event timer.

Plugin Commands:

– Pauses the event timer.

EventTimer Count Toggle
– Switches the current direction of the event timer to either increase or decrease each second it is active.

— INCREASE/DECREASE —

EventTimer Increase x Frames
EventTimer Decrease x Frames
– Replace ‘x’ with a number value to determine how many frames to increase or decrease the event timer by.

Lunatic Mode – Effect Code

---

For experienced users that know JavaScript and have RPG Maker MV 1.5.0+, you

can add new plugin commands for this plugin or alter the code of currently
existing plugin commands from the plugin parameters entry: Effect Code.
It should look something like this:

—

// ------------
// Pause/Resume
// ------------
if (data.match(/PAUSE/i)) {
  $gameTimer.pause();

} else if (data.match(/RESUME/i)) {
  $gameTimer.resume();

...

// --------------------------------
// Add new commands above this data
// --------------------------------
} else {
  // Do nothing
}

—

The ‘data’ variable refers to the rest of the Plugin Command after the ‘EventTimer’ keyword. For example:

EventTimer Increase 2 Hours, 30 Minutes, 15 Seconds

The ‘data’ would be ‘Increase 2 Hours, 30 Minutes, 15 Seconds’ and thus, the string ‘data’ is used when checking lines in the ‘Effect Code’ parameter.

—

If you need to revert the Effect Code back to its original state, delete the plugin from your plugin manager list and then add it again. The code will be back to default.

Happy RPG Making!
