• <Version 1.0> 04.20.2009 - Original Release

---

This script allows it so that encounters are not based on step count, but rather on seconds.

• Can use seconds rather than steps to determine random encounters
• Can be toggled on and off easily, allowing for some maps to have this feature while others are step-based.

Not necessary or useful

#  Timed Encounter Rates
#  Version: 1.0
#  Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
#  Date: April 20, 2009
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Description:
#    This script sets it so that encounters are not based on step count, but
#   rather on seconds.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Instructions:
#    Insert this script above Main and below other custom scripts.
#
#    The encounter rate determines the average number of seconds until an
#   an encounter, and encounters will occur whether or not the player is
#   moving.
#
#    To turn it back to regular encounters by steps, all that is necessary is
#   to type the following into a call script:
#
#      $game_player.change_encounter_type (x)
#
#   where x is either true or false, true being time-based encounters and
#   false being step-based encounters. If you do not include x, it will simply
#   toggle between the two.
