Timer Not Working as Intended

[Trumully]

Okay, so I am making an event where that if you don't select a choice within 10 seconds, it will automatically select a choice for you. But, it doesn't seem to be working.
Here is my event:
So, I've made a conditional branch for 'if timer < 0 jump to label: silence', but it doesn't want to jump to the label. Anything I'm doing wrong here?

I hate the built in timer lol. You should make a variable timer just to debug your issue ro see if it's the timer causing problems or something else in the event. Once I get to computer I will see what I can do.

Remember that when you run commands in a single page everything is read through from top to bottom and it will keep doing this based on what you set it too like parallel or player action. So what we're looking at is that you set the timer and then immediately right after checked to see if the timer was at 0 or not. Once it reads this it doesn't go back until the event is ran through again.

What you would have to do instead is most likely set up a separate event that is turned on when the timer starts and parallel it to check for the timer, once it does that it needs to turn a switch on / variable set and go back to your original event here and have another page that is turned on with that switch / variable and auto run the command. If you're wanting to make the choice random then I'd suggest variable over switch as a variable is simply a switch with more options. At least this is how I would do it.

Edit: Looks like Eivl found a way to do it on a single page. o///o Label jump it back to check because like I said, your commands are ran through once unless told otherwise.

looks like your never goes inside your if statement, look at mine

I'm trying to do this but with choices.
I want it so that if you don't select a choice within 10 seconds, I want it to go to a default choice and cancel the choice selection, but it isn't working. Sorry if I wasn't specific.

Yeah, but you have a time check that will never be run. Send me the complete code and i can help you more.

I am having a similar Problem, MV should have a Option under the Timer to create a "Upon End of Timer" branch. Here is my Code, the problematic part I have underlined. (This is a timed Inn that will kick you out after a certain time until the Pass item is acquired - just to clarify :D)
