Quick question involving textboxes Options

[vvalkingman]

I know this is probably simple and I can't believe I haven't figured it out as of yet...but when you put up a textbox is there a way to move on to the next line without the player having to mash enter? Example:

I'm attempting a cutscene and I want text boxes to pop up but I don't want the player to be able to just mash through it. Is there any other way to do this than having a picture with text on it already and just timing THAT with the wait command?

I am using rpg maker xp.

Dude...your name is going to be in big bold letters in the credits for Monk lmao you are so frickin' awesome! *gives cookie*

edit: So how do you do this in the event? Do you have a text, have wait 20 frames, then script call? or script call, text, 20 frames? Neither work just wondering lol i'm probably missing something simple...

I also noticed that when you call the script no other text boxes after that pop up.

It's more simple to do than to say, so I'll proceed with an example...
Basically, you'll need two events (or an event and a common event):

Main:
Event #1
Trigger: Parallel

1. Switches[CANT_SKIP_SWITCH_ID] = ON
2. Switches[id] = ON (a number you like) #activate this switch before every message you want to autoskip
2. Message: Hello!
4. rest of the event...
5. Switches[CANT_SKIP_SWITCH_ID] = OFF

Message autoskip:
Common Event or Event #2
Trigger: Parallel - Switch[id] == ON

1. Wait X frames
2. Script call: Message_Win.skip_message
3. Switch[id] == OFF

Feel free to ask if I wasn't clear enough.
