Yeah Board B! I'm new at this & slowly learning new things, but I watched your tutorial but can't get this to work because I don't want the animated tiles portion. Just want the rain, but I did get slopes to work. Not sure how to make a game timer or if there's one that'll work that's already existing on nesmaker. Or if anyone else would like to assist, more than welcome to do so.

Hey. To make a timer, just make a blank text file called gameTimer.asm and put it in this folder:
NESmaker_4_5_x\GameEngineData\Routines\BASE_4_5\Game\MOD_MetroidVania\Game
Then you go to Project Settings - Script Settings. Scroll down to where it says Game. Select the line that says "Handle Game Timer". In the area on the right you double click BASE_4_5, then do the same with Game, then MOD_MetroidVania, and then finally Game. Your gameTimer.asm file should be there. Just double click it. You have now connected your new timer file to the game timer setup. You don't need to do anymore in that menu. Just click Edit and paste the code from 9Panzer in that file and save it.
Ok, looks like I'm still having some issues getting the rain to work. Where did I go wrong?

Looks like you don't have your userscreenbytes system up. Check out this tutorial: https://www.nesmakers.com/index.php?threads/making-userscreenbyte0-7-work-plus-bonus.5842/
Ok, I finally got the rain to work. Thank you to Board B & 9Panzer for helping with this!

Will utilizing the users screen bytes stop the"Rain" from showing up on every screen?. Currently using 4.5.9 Adventure module. Would like to to work on giving screens instead of all.

Yes it's the purpose of the user screen bytes. You can set it per screen.
