Philips Version: VX RGSS(Scripting): No Difficulty: Beginner Show Text doesn't seem like alot of amazing stuff at first, but you'll be amazed by how much you don't know about it. First, The Basics you probably know: 1. Face Graphic This is the Graphic that shows up next to the message. consult my "managing Graphical Resources" Tutorial for in-depth info. 2. Text Area Here you input the message to be displayed. 3. Background Style Normal Background: Shows up with a nice message box around the message Dim Background: Puts a shadow behind the text, the rest is transparent Transparent Background: Just the text and the face graphic. Everything else is transparent 4. Position Comes in Top, Middle and Bottom. pretty self-explainatory. 5. Batch Entry If checked, you can put in more than 4 lines. when the text is done, it scrolls onwards. Now, for some cool stuff! Here's a regular Text Message: boring huh? BUT, there's some built-in options with which you can spice up your text messages. They are listed here: \V[n] Is Replaced by variable number n. For example: \V[3], will show you the number of variable number 0003. \N[n] Is replaced by Hero number n. for example, \N[1] will be replaced by the name of hero 0001(Ralph by Default) \C[n] Turns the following piece of text into the colour n. What n represents depends on the System Graphics. By Defualt: (made a mistake. distract 1 from all numbers for the correct ones ^_^;) \C[0] turn the text back to it's regular color. \G Opens the Money(Gold) window \. Waits 1/4th of a second during display \\| Waits 1 second during display \! Waits untill a button is pressed during display \> Displays the following characters in the same line all at once \^ Does not wait for a button to be pressed when done displaying \\ Changes into a single \. Don't ask me what it's used for as I don't know. Hopefully you are now able to make cooler and more awesome text messages for your RPG's. Cheers, Melchior M. \C[2]Philips\C[0] _________________ Lord Melchior's Cult (Leader) Click the sig for my website

(The Character Name Reference at least.) Works on RPG Maker XP, which is the one I use so It looks like (at least some) of this stuff will be helpful with my project. Especially this code (Since the main section of my Project involves a Custom character protagonist... the MAIN PART at least.) I was of course going to just have the other characters identify the player as a stereotypical "rookie" but this will change things around. _________________ PSN = Xoelaras "We can't stop here, This is Bat Country!" - Raoul Duke
