Request: Script to hide/unhide text-box with one key

[Okogawa]

Hello, Since I am making a Visual Novel (Japanese-style) it's very important that my graphics at any moment can be viewed in it's full glory. In some very important scenes there will be lots of text-boxes on the screen that partially will hide some very important graphical features (ehmmm...) - So...

I need some sort of script that with a press of a key will "hide" a textbox and with the pressing of the same key again will unhide the textbox. I guess it's a bit hard for me to fully explain this as a picture would say more than 1000 words (hold on wile I take one).

Before I continue, I just want to add that I managed to get my project going thanks to earlier help in this forum (had lots of issues with character sprite vanishing behind the main image...) - so, to get back on track:

- Look "behind" the semi-transparent text box and you see how the character sprite still is seen, now, as told earlier, sooner or later the player really (I mean REALLY) want to see a full non-cluttered image, and it's here the script comes in, i.e. the user press key-button "H" (as an example) and tada text-box is hidden, and the user presses "H" again, and its back...

So, my question, is there allready a feature in VX that does this (I might have missed it), or must it be coded in? I use Modern A's Advanced Text System 2, but the options in it are so complicated, so even he might already have the feature implemented?

Any kind help are most welcome!

Here is how I have made a temporary solution (see code in Image1). When the player holds down "Shift" and (as normal) press Z to continue, he/she will enter an alternate path that show no textbox (see Image 3). Actually, this is what I really want to archive, but I am NOT happy with the actual way I have implemented this.

A clean solution would be that the user at *any time* can press (as example SHIFT - or even better, another special key not used by the game) to hide/unhide the textbox (see Image2).

Any kind help are most welcome
