Disable Skipping in Messages
Version: 1.0
Author: modern algbera
Date: May 29, 2009

Version History




Description



Basically, it allows you to set a code in a message that will make it so that the player cannot skip the message but has to wait for it to draw completely before going forward with the message.

Features


Instructions

Place above Main and below other custom scripts. To disable text-skipping in a message, simply put \% anywhere in the message.

#==============================================================================
#  Disable Skipping Mod
#  Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
#  Extracted from Advanced Text System 2.0
#  http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,25348.0.html
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Description:
#
#    This little add-on allows the game maker to disable text skipping by the
#   user with the message code \%, placed anywhere in the message. It disallows
#   skipping only on a message to message basis, unlike in the ATS, which
#   toggles the ability to skip mid-message.
#==============================================================================
# ** Window Message
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Summary of Changes:
#    aliased method - update_show_fast, start_message, finish_message
#    new method - ma_skip_disabled?
#==============================================================================

class Window_Message
 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 # * Update Show Fast
 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 alias modnbr_ext_ats_disbleskip_showfasr_67b5 update_show_fast
 def update_show_fast (*args)
   # Run Original Method
   modnbr_ext_ats_disbleskip_showfasr_67b5 (*args)
   # Disallow that type of show fast if skip disabled
   @show_fast = false if ma_skip_disabled?
 end
 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 # * Start Message
 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 alias modrnalg_atsextrctin_strtmsg_53b5 start_message
 def start_message (*args)
   # Run Original Method
   modrnalg_atsextrctin_strtmsg_53b5 (*args)
   if @text.gsub! (/\\%/) { "" } != nil
     @ma_skip_disabled = true
   end
 end
 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 # * Finish Message
 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 alias modalg_atsexion_dsblskp_fnsmsg_73b5 finish_message
 def finish_message (*args)
   # Run Original Message
   modalg_atsexion_dsblskp_fnsmsg_73b5 (*args)
   @ma_skip_disabled = false
 end
 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 # * Skip Disabled?
 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 def ma_skip_disabled?
   @ma_skip_disabled = false if @ma_skip_disabled.nil?
   return @ma_skip_disabled
 end
end

Author's Notes



This script is a feature extracted from my ATS. But, since it is a useful feature and not all people want an entire message system for one little feature, I decided to make it its own little script. It's not as functional as the one in the ATS since I didn't want to destroy your compatibility with all other message systems ever, and so I didn't directly modify the drawing loop. Basically, the one in the ATS allows you to disable and re-enable skipping mid-text, while this one you can only disable skipping for entire messages.
