What RPG Maker version are you using?

Do tell, but it no longer matters. I'm guessing your using either RM2k3, XP, or VX. If 2000, then I have to install it sense I, for some odd reason, haven't installed it on my laptop.

---------
I am going to write out how a code would look when set as a code, not individual instructions on building it, unless you request that I do so. In order for me to do write those instructions step by step I need you to specify the RPG Maker version your using. (95, 2000, 2003, XP, VX).


Example of layout of code

EVENT 001 <== Event Name
-------- <== Break (Everything Below this needs to be made)
<>Message: Text <== What actually needs to be made.

Hey Lenny, this should be added to the list sticked guides.

A lot of people are probably wondering how to go about making a timer for a castle and what not in their games for RM2k3-VX.
