Yanfly Ace Message System question!!

I am fairly new to this script, I do understand it well enough to be able to get it to do nearly everything I need it to... other than one thing..

by chance is there anyway to be able to have the script automatically adjust to the amount of text.. 

example: if i have a character say a small sentence ... "Im going home" than the script would use a smaller "Width" as far as the window that it shows and not take up the whole bottom of the screen. (I really dont care if the rows change)

In short I know how to make it so the sentence could be in a small box.. but then if I have a larger section of text I have to change the variable or edit the text to 3 or 4 words for every row. I just want to be able to write out the text and the script automatically adjust to it.(if possible)

Thanks in advanced guys!

If you look into the script comments, you'll see that it configures variables to enable the game to change the text window size. You can use those windows in your events to adjust how high and how wide the text window is.


However, that is not automatic - you need to check yourself how much space you need for each message, then use a control variable command before the show text command to set the window to the correct width and height.

So just making sure I understand. For EVERY message I have to use a Control Variable to adjust the "window" to match how much text is in it?

yes


It might be possible that someone can write you a modification for yanfly's script, but that is far from sure - Yanfly isn't active at the moment, and anyone modifying those scripts would need to understand what Yanfly has done. And understanding someone else's scripts and programs is usually more difficult than writing a new one...

I've moved this thread to RGSSx Script Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


If you want someone to help you modify the script, please provide a link to it. Thanks.

I am not familiar enough with Yanfly's script to answer your question, but I know that I wrote a script with that feature: ATS: Message Options. There are probably others as well. I am not sure how well they would combine with Yanfly's script.
