# 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.

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.
