Author's Notes

In the demo I used trees in bulk and mines in bulk. However, in real games, having so many trees (in the same area) can induce lag. So just be careful how many you add.

Lol, I'd be honored if you did.

There's a copy of this event system somewhere in here that a guy added a level system too. Not too difficult, I think he just added 1 more variable to print a Level or Rank number based on the EXP variable in this. Like if 150 EXP, then Level 3 would be printed some place. It's why I added an EXP Journal into this demo except it only tracks the EXP. No levels implemented. I figure I didn't need to when the other guy kind of already did it.

If you do plan on using this, I'd be glad to make a character sheet for you to use for the trees. I know you don't use a lot of RTP, so I might need some of your trees if you do lol.

This is really nice done i love it!
but it sucks that the frames can't go higher then 999 :(:(
do you guys know a Timer Script that can have a Large time wait? like 10mins ? XD

nvm I found out just putting 2 timers.. Example: 600 Framse, 600 Framse = 20 sec ... .. sorry :P

Do it in conjunction with a loop command and variables. Set it to run 900 frames (or whatever you want), then when it reaches 900 add 1 to a variable. Create this inside of a conditional branch that is constantly checking what that variable's value is. So if the value is equal to 2, then the timer has reached 1800 frames. If the value of the variable is 10, then the timer has reached 9000 frames. So if you want more frames used, change the conditional to check for a higher value, etc.

In VX, 60 frames = 1 second. So, 1 minute = 3600 frames, 10 minutes = 36000 frames. With this, let's pick 500 frames (for our example from above) and use that. If the value of our variable is 1, then 500 frames has passed. If the value of our variable is 72, then 36000 frames has passed. Therefore, you set the conditional branch to check when your variable is equal to 72, when this is true, your condition will occur. Don't forget though that when this condition is true, to reset the variable to 0 and turn the event off so that the timer stops.

Edit: Oh, you edited your message just before I posted this. lol

I did not know the switch to Dubble the time. Thanks alot!
I am haveing less trubble with the events! :D
Btw do you know anything about the Specail Actor setting to controll that with an event?
For an example: I chose A class Assassin, then you should get Two Sword Style. I tryed useing some Script Comments but i failed Pretty hard o.o'

I might have a problem with the timer :/
For some reason in-game after I mined/cut an ore/tree and go to a Diffrent map. and come back after 1min the reasours has not Spown at all.
forsome reason it resets the timer to 0 and counts all of it again.
an example: we have Map1 and Map2   on Map1 is a Ore that has a respown timer on 600Freams, I mine that ore. and go to Map2. after 1 min i go back to Map1
to check on the ore and it did not spown.i hade to wait 1 more min till it spowns.
seems that it restarts the timer when Switching maps .
Is there a way to get this diffrent?
