I am creating my own AMS, with success up to this point. There are no syntax errors, but there is a silly little error I'm having. Here is a screenshot:

And here is my message script with modifications to the default script in red:

    else
      self.cursor_rect.empty
    end
  end
end
The problem is that the message window is printing the "true" in @indent = true and sadly, I can't seem to figure out why. If someone can show me a way to work around this, I would be grateful.
 
Change this:
Code:
      text.gsub!(/\\[Ff]\[([0-9]+)\]/) do
        actor = $game_actors[$1.to_i]
        draw_actor_graphic(actor, 0, 16)
        @indent = true
      end
with this:
Code:
      text.gsub!(/\\[Ff]\[([0-9]+)\]/) do
        actor = $game_actors[$1.to_i]
        draw_actor_graphic(actor, 0, 16)
        @indent = true
        ''
      end

gsub replace the text with the result of the block, in this case, it was true
