Message box to fit text with dubealex's message script

[WithViolence]

Basically, I'm running out of ideas here. I want to make it so that the box automatically resizes itself just to fit in the text that's assigned to an event.

I've searched all of the script and I haven't found a "noticeable" way to do it. I've tried messing with the x and y cords. but I just fuck it up. I tried to decrease/increase the actual size of the message box and yet again - I fucked it up.

I need help, and if anybody needs me too I'll post the script. I'm using Advanced Message System - R4 Update #2.

Didn't the demo showcase that feature? Try opening up the demo file and find the event that demonstrates it.

I don't have the demo, I strictly have the script.

use this command to call that feature: \p[0]

Thank you.

Another Dubealex question, I'll hold off on making another thread for it until later.

How do I set it so that the text box closes at a set time interval? Say I want this guy to say "Help!" and I don't want the player to hit enter to get it to continue, say it just stays on the screen for five seconds then goes off.

I could never figure this out.

Post the script. Not all of us have Dubealex's AMS memorized. (Though I should because there are many questions about it.)

That is also explained in the demo...

Download the demo...trust me, it'll be alot easier than posting on the forums andwaiting for replies. It also gives you good examples of oher cool effects (such as font, size, colour, letter by letter effect, a sound effect for every letter [like a typwriter], etc etc etc)...

What do you guys prefer, Dube's or Slipknot's? And are there other message systems aside from theirs? I would like the LETTER BY LETTER mode with the feature to control the time when to show a word....

The manual for Dub's script is Here.
This should answer mot of your questions.

Yes, I found that a short while ago. Although it answered most of them, I have a problem.

When setting it so that it closes in 1 second, or .25 seconds, or after the last letter it will show the text. Infact, on the 1 second or .25 second closing wait time it won't even close, but it will display the text. On the last letter, it'll close but show the text.

When I say "shows the text" I don't mean the text I put in the message box, I mean the text that you need to put inside that message box in order for it to close. The script/command/fuction/etc. I think the last one (closes last letter) is \~..> or \~...> if I remember correctly.

Anybody know how I can fix that?

Ok, my first problem as solved.. Here's another.. Uhmm.. Is the
"SHOW FACE ON TOP OF THE MESSAGE BOX" still present in Slipknot's LbLMW?
