Introduction

This script allows you to turn your timer display on/off, it allows you to change the opacity of the timer, it allows you to used fixed positioning e.g. Top Left, Bottom Right etc and it also allows you to set an exact position on the screen for it to appear along with being able to change your font size and type for the timer.

TIMER DISPLAY SWITCH

To use the visibility switch, just change the number in the [] to the number of your timer switch:-

Code:

$game_switches[numberhere] == false

FIXED POSITIONING

As for the position, just call script and call one of the following, dependant on where you want to place it:-

Code:

#TOP LEFT

$game_system.timer_position = 0

Code:

#TOP RIGHT

$game_system.timer_position = 1

Code:

#BOTTOM LEFT

$game_system.timer_position = 2

Code:

#BOTTOM RIGHT

$game_system.timer_position = 3

UNIVERSAL POSITIONING

For an exact position you must call this code:-

Code:

$game_system.timer_position = 4

$game_system.timer_posx = #

$game_system.timer_posy = #

Remember to replace the #'s for real numbers.

OPACITY CONTROL

Replace the '#' with the opacity you want it to be, 255 being solid, 0 being invisible.

Code:

$game_system.timer_opacity = #

CHANGE FONT SIZE & TYPE

Replace the # and "font here" to what size and font type you want it to be.

Code:

$game_system.timer_fontsize = #

$game_system.timer_fontsize = "fonthere"

Script

Add this script above Main.

"Script"
