Ok, I know I will need a timer but how can I make to where in a certain amount of time that you don't feed your dog, he runs away or dies. How can I do this?

You have to think why the dog would run away.
He's either scared, bored, disobedient or hungry. If you have stats for those things then it's a case of making him run away if they get too low.

Use this:

+ Code Snippet

T=Timer()
DO
  Elapsed=(TIMER()-T)/1000
  IF Elapsed=60 AND dog_not_fed = 1
    HIDE OBJECT o_dog : REM here is the line where you'd make the dog run away, so use a move object command or something.
    Elapsed=0
    T=TIMER()
  ENDIF
LOOP

Change the 60 in the "If Elapsed = 60" to whatever time you want in seconds before it runs away.

dog_not_fed would be set to 0 if the player has fed the dog, and set to 1 if it hasn't been fed.

I suggest reading TDK's tutorial on timers if you don't know how to use them, the tutorial is at http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=59347&b=7

Good luck!
