on 2k3 I was woundering, when I make a parallel Process with a timer, will it run through battles too? I was making a place where you can only endure the heat for a amount of time and I just wanted to know a little more about the parallel process.
I tried this awhile ago. I forget the results, but I'm pretty sure it didn't work. Try it out for yourself.
When you start the timer, using Timer Operations on the Event Commands Window. You have an option of making it run during battle OR not during battle. :)
The Parallel Process is a trigger condition for the event, meaning that it happens only what that condition is met. This condition makes it so that it runs alongside all the other events, and while the player can move around, etc.
hmm, I tested it and when it gets to the gmae over part all it does is exit battle... It doesn't show the game over screen :(
