#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  Galv's Variable Timer Functions
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  For: RPGMAKER VX ACE
#  Version 1.2
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  2012-10-24 - Version 1.2 - updated alias names for compatibility
#  2012-09-28 - Version 1.1 - Timer sprites now dispose when invisible.
#                             (thanks to Falcao's advice to do so)
#  2012-09-28 - Version 1.0 - release
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#
#  This script allows a bit more control over the timer and how it looks
#  - Use a custom graphic for the timer
#  - Change font, text size and colour of numbers
#  - Variable speed that can count up or down
#  - Additional script calls for functionality (see below)
#
#
#  The below can be used in event script calls.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  To freeze the timer:
#  $game_timer.freeze
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  To unfreeze the timer:
#  $game_timer.unfreeze
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  To increase time (x is number of seconds):
#  $game_timer.increase(x)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  To decrease time (x is number of seconds):
#  $game_timer.decrease(x)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  To set timer to equal a variable (y is variable ID to use):
#  $game_timer.set(y)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  To increase timer by a variable (y is variable ID to use):
#  $game_timer.increase_var(y)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  To decrease timer by a variable (y is variable ID to use):
#  $game_timer.decrease_var(y)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#
#  Event commands for the timer still work.
#  eg. (start, stop, conditional branch, set variable to timer)
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
