Timer Rewrite

Introduction
This script allows you to turn your timer display on/off, it allows you to change the opacity of the timer, it allows you to used fixed positioning e.g. Top Left, Bottom Right etc and it also allows you to set an exact position on the screen for it to appear along with being able to change your font size and type for the timer.


Features
TIMER DISPLAY SWITCH
To use the visibility switch, just change the number in the [] to the number of your timer switch:-

CODE

$game_switches[numberhere] == false

FIXED POSITIONING
As for the position, just call script and call one of the following, dependant on where you want to place it:-

CODE

#TOP LEFT
$game_system.timer_position = 0

CODE

#TOP RIGHT
$game_system.timer_position = 1

CODE

#BOTTOM LEFT
$game_system.timer_position = 2

CODE

#BOTTOM RIGHT
$game_system.timer_position = 3

UNIVERSAL POSITIONING
For an exact position you must call this code:-

CODE

$game_system.timer_position = 4
$game_system.timer_posx = #
$game_system.timer_posy = #

Remember to replace the #'s for real numbers.

OPACITY CONTROL
Replace the '#' with the opacity you want it to be, 255 being solid, 0 being invisible.

CODE

$game_system.timer_opacity = #

CHANGE FONT SIZE & TYPE
Replace the # and "font here" to what size and font type you want it to be.

CODE

$game_system.timer_fontsize = #
$game_system.timer_fontsize = "fonthere"

Script
Add this script above Main.

Kurisu aka Slipper for helping me point out my mistake

[zkid]

it just sits their and stays at 0 and does it count up or down cause i need it to count up?

[Mac]

You need to call the timer and define it first, through the choices in VX.

These features, have to be called via Call Script.

The timer counts down.

[EmberleGlen]

Can you set several timers at once?

For instance, I want an event to trigger a timer for a Farm Plot and if, and when, the timer reaches a certain time, it will trigger the Event to end, but I want several Farm Plots with separate timers going at the same time?

Is this possible?
