Problems With VX - Messages

Hey people.

I'm making a cutscene on VX that requires only a determined time (because of the music playing behind, so the scene and the music are completly compatible) but for that, I need that the messages one character says go away alone, instead of making the player press ENTER.

Sumarising, I want to make a dialogue dissapear in a determined time, and not let the player press a key to continue the scene.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
 
If you use the "What's this?" function(right click) on the word 'Text:' in the dialog box you will get this little window to open up.

Using \^ in conjunction with \| and \. should get you the effect you are desiring.  Good luck!
 
\^  Makes the message disappear without input
\>  Makes the line of text display instantly (So you don't have to worry about the message going faster or slower)
\|  Waits for 1 second


So basically you'd type.

\>Hello World!\|\|\^

and the message would appear for exactly two seconds.
 

Thank you for viewing
