    • 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
