Earthbound-like Battle Log

Hi there!

I've been looking all around for a way to display my battle log in the same way Mother games do. That is, a text-box that sits on the top part of the screen and describes what's going on in the battle, much like a window called with a common event, but for the battle log.

I don't just want to have a border around my log, nor to display it in a window manner. I'd like the text to appear smoothly, as if it was a text window, be able to add all the text I want (to describe a particular skill: "Hero raises his hands and light descends from heaven!") and even display damage messages there ("The enemy was hit for 30 damage!").



Do you know it there's anything like that available or, if not, how could I write it?

Bump
Would like that for my project too.
