Stage Timer is too long

Hi, I recently turned on timer in my game

settime 30
notime 0

However, the timer is ticking once every 2 real world seconds instead of once every 1 real world second as I expected. Is there a way to alter this?

I don't know a way to change the native one, but you can draw a custom game timer with the real value.

C: 
void main()
{
    float hRes        = openborvariant("hresolution");
    float vRes        = openborvariant("vresolution");
    float time        = openborvariant("game_time");
    float seconds    = 200;
    float time        = openborvariant("game_time")/seconds;
    int font        = 1;
    int xPos        = (hRes-strwidth(""+time, font))/2; //MAINTAIN ALWAYS CENTRALIZED ON THE SCREEN
    int yPos        = 180; //BASE Y POSITION
    int layer        = 10001; //BASE Z LAYER
    
    //DRAW CLOCK
    drawstring(xPos, yPos, font, time, layer);
}

Set the settime value to 0 so there won't be that time running. Otherwise, you can take a look at Street Fighter 89 The Final Fight for the timer reference.

If not, then you can try something similar to Bloodbane's delay trick. But what I did was that I copied a script based on the delay entity and created its health point with drawstring to display it like it's a timer in ondrawcript. I'm only showing you some partially useful ones, but for changing to specific animation, use your imagination, or let someone here in this community to help how you want the "timer" to act.

Starting from 6:20:

For mine, when it comes to time out, it's set to anim death.

Also, you can make it as an NPC for joining you. Battle music here in Devil May Cry style, but for this question, maybe you don't need music since you want that entity to act as a timer when it goes along with you.

Battle music?

I swear I've seen someone post a script (either on here or Lavalit) that basically was an if-else statement... ie, if enemies are present, then play battlemusic; else, if no enemies, play normal stage music. Does anyone have that script? I don't want to use normal music switching techniques...
