Damn :angry:  I tried to make a timer but it doesn't want to work. Made one with #Delay, one with a plugin and some other stupid things but nothing want to work. In the shack isn't a good one too  Sad  
Could someone please help me?

what kind of a timer are you trying to make? if you want one with only seconds it's extremely easy, just do something like this (not exactly though, it may have a few errors from multitasking and such  Wink )

Code: [Select]

:recalc
#Delay(1)
#seconds!=seconds!+1
#Branch (:recalc)
but for a timer with seconds, minutes, hours, and days, you have to include a bit more, like this...

Code: [Select]

:recalc
#Delay(1)
#seconds!=seconds!+1
#If (seconds!=60)
{
#minutes!=minutes!+1
#seconds!=0)
}
#If (minutes!=60)
{
#hours!=hours!+1
#minutes!=0
}
#If (hours!=24)
{
#days!=days!+1
#hours!=0
}
#Branch (:recalc)

remember, you can always change the delay time if you dont want the game time to be real time  Smile

I made this kind of stuff but because of the delay-thing it's getting stuck.
It is made for seconds. It's made for a minigame where you got 50 seconds to collect the stuff so you need to walk at the same time as the timer goes. This is the code I made:

#Method Timer(sec!,lose$)
{
:timer
#Delay(1)
tl!+1
#If(tl!==sec!)
{
#Run(lose$)
#End()
}
#Branch(:timer)
}

That was the timer. It didn't work if I just let the program run alone (you couldn't walk) so I set it in an item. But even then it didn't work :angry: After that I made something with
#wait(c$)
#If(c$=="LEFT") {#Push("W")}
ec.
Only now it give a new character what's under something and it make the screen black where it is. I don't know the problem..... :unsure:
