Message Pause Cursor for VX ACE

The007who · 2018-11-12T02:05:29+0900

Hey all! I saw this thread for MV made by HimeWorks https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/message-pause-cursor.52984/ I was just thinking if someone could make one for VX ACE to add to my project. EDIT: Well the option that I would need is to position the pause icon at the ending of text.

Working on it.
Got this much so far.
Allows you to change the position from left to center to right (default by script) by changing a variable.
Working on changing the image file as well, just having a glitch where you have to open a screen before it updates the image file.
Maybe someone can help me with that.

@tv.ghost thanks for the reminder. I gave up on this. But now I just added in the option to change the icon.
