[Answered] Pop-up message box

#1 Post by Gear »

I absolutely suck at searching the documentation for information. I never seem to find what I'm looking for.

I want to create a box that pops up in the middle of the screen. Hopefully, I can customize it as I see fit, but basically, I want a message to pop up (preferably with a sound effect), and I want a button to dismiss the message and let the game continue. Contrast, of course, with regular text/dialogue that shows up VN style. Anyone know where to start on such a thing?

The best reason to get up in the morning is to outdo yourself: to do it better than you've ever done it before. But if you haven't done it better by nightfall... look at your globe and pick a spot: it's always morning somewhere.

You can just call a screen, with "action Return" on the button

Might be an idea to use the yesno screen as a template - only include one button instead of two and make it action Return() like Stapper said.

Thanks guys. I know what I'm going to do now.
