Since I'm fairly new to Scripting and Variables, I have a question for anyone. I need to have a variable, TIME, to come out on a certain page, but I don't know if I can do this since the only button given on Variables is 'Check box to place Variable from start'. Is there a way to have Variables begin and end on certain pages?

Thanks in advance.

You can check the 'Show on All Pages' button to have the Variable show at the bottom of all pages, or you can write the Variable right onto a page, wherever in the text you want it, by using %%VARIABLE%%.

So %TIME Variable would be written %%TIME%% to sho the Value on a page.

Well, that worked! So I don't need to type anything to take it off, just (In this case) need to let the time max out?

Whoa.. Do I have to type %%TIME%% on each page I'm using it? I don't mind, but I just want to know.

Yes, if you want to choose where in a page to place it. If you just want it on the bottom of every page, the check box is the way to go  :)

Alright, I'll check into that. I think for my game the option of going one by one typing %%TIME%% will be the better way to go. And a final question: Is there a way to get rid of the beige background that comes up on the story when you type %%TIME%%?

Never had a beige background problem with it before, so I'm not really sure how to help there...

It's okay, I can wing it. Thanks BZ!
