Scrolling Message System

[Sophist]

The demo is long out dated.

You are an idiot for posting in a thread from 2007 and expecting downloads to work.

Just copy it from the Script spoiler. It scrolls automatically when you have more than two lins. The choices are added when you use the Show Choice Branch. If you are trying and nothing is showing up, you might not have the font he is using, so change FontName to something you have.

Hello. Sorry to topic necro on my first post but I was just wondering if anyone knows how to add the text sound to this script? I love this script and can live without the text sounds in the other script but would definitely prefer it. Thanks

I know this is an old topic, but how do i get the name box above the text? it might be a dumb question, but I'm new to the script parts, so i dint know how to edit them yet. Thanks.

I thought it was just by using the code \name[text] inside a text box.

Thats what i thought too, but it doesn't work

Well, it was an extra feature, so you needed to add this code into its own slot below the SMS:
