This is definitely possible. I would recommend making a switch for this, though if all the timers in your game are invisible, then you don't really need one. If you go to Sprite_Timer, find "@timer.update", and paste "@timer.visible=false if $game_switches[xxx]" underneath, where xxx is the number of the switch, when turned on, that will disable visibility for the timer. However, using this method, you won't be able to display any visible timers while this switch is on, so if you wanted to use a different visible timer in the postgame, you'd have to disable this switch and probably the other timer as well.

It's working, but when I turned switch back OFF timer still hide. Do you know how to fix that?

You can replace the line I told you to put in with this: "@timer.visible = !$game_switches[xxx]" and it should work

I tried to do it same as you wrote, but it still doesn't work. I also tried in other similar ways.

It worked for me. In the video, interacting with the tree starts the timer, interacting with Teddiursa turns the switch on, and interacting with Zangoose turns the switch off. Are you sure you did it correctly?

I tried again and it works, thanks.
