Title: [RESOLVED] Right sized Text Boxes...
Post by: fidio on May 14, 2007, 05:34:57 PM

When I enter a Message (Text Box) it always turns up as a massive box with the text at the top.

I've seen games where the text box is the same says as the text, how do i do this?

AMSes

Three big ones are Ccoa's, dubealex's, and Slipknot's. Slipknot's is in this forum in the scripts database under the heading Letter by Letter Message System or something. For the others look on .org or creationasylum. Also, on this forum, is Slipknot's SMS, which is pretty cool

There's a better way than Slipknott's AMS, and that is CCOA's UMS (Universal Message System) that is attached to this post in a demo.  To get the script, go to the Game Editor, then go to Script Editor -> UMS and copy everything there, then past it into a new script above main in YOUR script editor.  Then, to make it fit as small as possible, input the following code into a "Call Script" event before any of your text:

Code: [Select]

$game_system.ums_mode = FIT_WINDOW_TO_TEXT

That will take care of it.  The reason this is better is because this won't make you have to retype everything for the text to show up like in Slipknotts   :bean:
