I have a parallel process event, and I'd like to know how I'd make it so a message box can show up WHILE the character's playing and won't interrupt the gameplay by making the character unable to move while it shows up. I have it so it will close itself automatically so Enter doesn't need to be pressed. Is it possible to make it so it displays but the character can still walk around?

EDIT: OH CRAP! I meant to post this in the RPG Maker VX section!! Can someone PLEASE move it??!?!!? T-T

What you can do is have a parallel process, and have it check if up is pressed, and if it is than move up (ignore impossible movement), and the same for the other directions.
If you have this parallel process running while the message box comes up, then the move route commands will still run while the textbox is up, and you can still move.
This works on both XP and VX.

I meant if you could still CONTROL the player yourself. Like walk around and stuff...

What you have to do is making two events. One put the messsage and the other put the character's moving.
Remember to check the parallel process.
If you want to message box automatically, you just need add " \^ " after the word and it will close automatically.
Combine with " \| " (delay one second) , you can acheive your goal.
Good luck!!
