I'm trying to have my text appear in a box in the middle as sort of a prologue text screen. But not in like a talk bubble to the left or right. Just a bubble in the center. But everytime I just input my text to appear, it doesnt show up, but it acts as if it's display text...

What'd you put

[Ryoji]

Nothing...it just doesnt show up right. Like I'm trying to get the text box in the middle. I just put in normal text. Like it just displays the text on the screen though, but not in any kind of box. Like I know openMidRight OpenMidLeft, OpenRight, OpenLeft, but when I tried OpenCenter, it didnt work.

There is no code "OpenCenter", that's why. You can't make up your own codes. XD

To make text appear in a box in the center you'd have to use event codes. Or I guess you could try to just put the text like dialog and use spacing to center it, but... it probably wouldn't work >_>

[Ryoji]

that's what I thought DX

But I cant seem to find the event code is what's the problem. I thought it was something in the FEeditor, but I cant seem to find that code so I guess not, but when I checked the event coding tutorials I know about, I didnt find one for that...so I'm not sure where to find the code for it

Have you tried Arch's event tutorial? It basically taught me everything about event hacking.

His video tutorials also helped.

Within those tutorials there is a section for Text and the different ways to load text. (Conversation, Explanation box, "voice in your head")

You're going to have to try to load the text using a textcode besides TEX1... to load a style of box besides the normal one. I think TEX8 loads a brownish box, and there should be a macro like "Scroll()" or "ScrollText()" (you'd have to check the doc that comes with the Event Assembler to know) that makes a box that looks like a scroll (like the boxes used during the tutorial IIRC). However to make these changes you'd have to learn events... practically from the beginning. sooooo >_> let's just say that if you try, you're going to be doing a bunch of work, and learning a lot of good stuff, but you won't be making very much use of what you will be learning since you just want to make one change really.

I honestly hadnt even thought about using any other TEX event code other than TEX1....>_> I kept thinking it was something to be done in FEeditor but yeah you both are right thanks
