Cancelling Dialogue or Message Box?

[Lamsah 2]

Hi.

 

Anyone know how to cancel a message box along with the event when player doesnt push any buttons when talking to an event? Basically, to force the message box to cancel, exit, or go away along with the event associated with it when player doesnt do anything so that other events can process.

 

I tried the $game_message.clear thats parallel processed by another event however, this does not clear the current message box displayed. All it does is it stops the next line from processing but does not exit the current message thats displayed or exit the entire event.

I can make a script for you if you'd prefer. I doubt it can be done with eventing alone.

If you would please 

 

I thought it was a built in feature in the system but i guess i was wrong, LoL

# Idle Dialogue Exit

# Version: 1.0

# Author: DiamondandPlatinum3

# Date: July 23, 2013

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# Description:

#

# This script creates allows you to set an automatic continuation when your

# player is not being responsive.

# Basically if your player has not read the text in the textbox before a

# specified amount of time, you can allow it so that the NPC talking to them

# can do one of two things.

# 1) Move on to the Next Event Command (this is just the next command

# in the list; so it may be another text box or a battle)

# 2) Exit event processing entirely. This NPC will start doing all the

# things they were doing before you bothered them and act like you

# never spoke to them

#

#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Instructions:

#

# ~ Just before a Textbox you wish Idle Dialogue Rules to apply, you must

# insert the following script call:

# begin_idle_dialogue_exit(seconds)

# Replacing 'seconds' with the time you will allow. This is done with decimals

# ie: Five seconds would be inputted as 5.0, or you can have it wait for 5.3

# seconds, etc.

#

#

# ~ By default the NPCs will just skip to their next event command when being

# ignored. If you'd like them to quit event processing, you must add 'true'

# inside that script call:

# begin_idle_dialogue_exit(seconds, true)

# Now whenever you ignore an NPC, they will quit event processing.

#

#
