You'll need a script, otherwise the time limit won't work properly.

[Edit] hmm, sry, after reading it again I realized that "self only" is also a flag, there might be an idea to do this, but don't know...
[Edit2] hmm, I actually have not the nerve to set this up, but tested around and it should work.
Combo 1. Torch. Flag 95. Inherent Flag 16. Cycles instantly to Combo 2.
Combo 2. Torch. Inherent Flag 4.
Burn secret Combo. Lit Torch. Flag 95. Inherent Flag 16. Cycles after 9s to Combo 2.
Secret Combo 1 (Flag 16). Lit Torch.
This should do it.

To get the right timing on combos sometimes you have to add in 1 frame combos in the middle of the cycle so that the next one starts at the beginning. Timing does start when you change from one to another, but there seem to be exceptions, like it won't restart when the screen is entered and it won't restart when cycled to from the secret combo flag. I know one time I had to make a secret combo change to a 1 frame combo to the timed combo I wanted, otherwise the timed combo wouldn't start over at the beginning of the animation. Sometimes it just takes some thorough testing.

I feel like using a script will take a lot of the pain out of making the puzzle, so I'm probably going to post a script request in the appropriate place. (Although I may attempt the old-fashioned way before posting the request)

OK, tested it out with replacing the animation (20s) with 8 animated combos that cycle to each other (the 1st cycles to the 2nd and so on with a 1/2s animation each) and it worked out just fine. Tested it out with the classic tileset and the water tiles.
Could I perhaps get the .qst file so that I can examine exactly what you did? I feel like I'd absorb what you're saying better if I dissected the system in ZQ. When I first tried what you described, the torches would light independently, but the secret would trigger only after the first torch was lit.

Also how do I upload a quest I know there are things like mediafire, but never uploaded anything there.

Tomorrow's fine!
Also, for uploading, I think any file hosting site will do. Mediafire, mega, that sort of thing. Or you can just add me as a contact on Skype and send it to me there. I think that'd also work. (My Skype account name is in my PZC bio)

Also can I use as password whatever I want? Since I used Firebird I don't want to upload the tileset unpassworded outside pure, but I never used passwords so far.
