Time-bound effects

[1wdc]

I need a script to make effects time bound ( such as an increase in player speed, that would stop working after 2 minutes.)

Any help much appreciated.

Well, if you are looking for an effect on the map, then all you need to do is use an event like this:

Set Move Route: Player
    Increase speed
Wait: 7200 Frames
Set Move Route: Player
    Decrease Speed

THere are 60 Frames per second, so 7200 frames = 2 minutes.

Anyway, that would work. If you wanted an item to have that effect then all you'd need to do is put it in a common event and have the item call the common event.

If you are looking for effects in battle, then making them have real-time limits doesn't really make sense, unless you are using a different battle script, in which case: link?

I've tried that method, the problem is when I tell it to wait, my character stands still and is incapablie of moving, I've even tried putting the event to parallell proccess and that didn't work either.

my guess is that the move route is executing repeatedly or something.

try this:

Common event 1 (trigger: Item)
Set Move Route: Player
    Increase speed
Switch-Y: on

Common event 2 (trigger: Switch-Y)
wait:7200 frames
Set Move Route: Player
    Decrease Speed
Switch-Y off

or something, idk
I'll see what I can do when I get home.

That didn't work either, I'm surprised I'm the only one who has tried to do this, seems like a common thing for rpgs.
