Quick time in battle system!

[Ya'kub Ayers]

I set up a quick time event for battle with the timer and for some reason the battle ends when the timer hits zero, I tried to set the alarm to go off before it hits zero and it still does nothing. I could only get the "quick" time event to respond to key press, so basically the player can press the keys, but there is no set time to do it.
I notice there are three phases:
Turn, moment, and battle.
How would I set this up?

Okay! I was frustrated had a quick chat with a friend and now...I no longer need the quick time! I have a better idea!
