Ending Messages Automatically

[KhaoticErase]

I don't think it's possible to automatically end a message after a certain period of time. Could someone make me a quick script that ends messages?

Like a script that has different sections that I can call during the event. Different sections for different amounts of time, not specific messages.

The script should work so that after I call, say, a portion of it titled "3 seconds", the next message I enter in the Event Tab will automatically end after 60 frames.

If this isn't possible, I'll settle for a longer script that calls individual messages typed into the script for certain periods of time.

Thank you!

Yeah you can already do it with Dubealexs AMS, you may be ablre to with UMS as well though I have no idea about that one.

All you have to do if input the command that waits 1 second three times, and then enter the command that closes the message box.

 

[KhaoticErase]

Good. I already have that script.

What command makes it wait and which one ends it?

I'm not a scriptor, so... You may have to get detailed if it's more complicated than that.

Trying to remember here...

\~ Ends a message

\. Waits .25

\| Waits 1.0

\% Toggles Skippable text ON / OFF

Some may be wrong, but I think that's it.

Well Sephiroth..There should be an text that comes with the game and script

 

[KhaoticErase]

Ryanna, I have no idea what you just tried to say.

Calibre, does that go in the script? Because it looks like could go directly into the Show Message event.

 

[Calibre]

It does go in the show message event.

\%Hey!\.\.I'm Calibre...\|\|
Just demonstrating how to use this thing...\|\|
Now after this,\. I'll dissapear\.\.\.\~\%

:P

 

[KhaoticErase]

Didn't work. All the stuff you typed still showed up.

Or does the aforementioned script need to be in the script editor for it to work?

 

[Calibre]

What? Of course you need dubealexs AMS in your scripts database to work...

Otherwise, it does work.

 

[KhaoticErase]

Ahhhh... Okay, it works now. Thanks!
