Essentials Text Skip Tutorial 1

Pokémon Essentials Version
v17.2 ➖
This script adds the ability for players to quickly skip through messages by holding the B button during them. It works by exploiting a glitch that jumps through messages when the text speed is set to a very high number. So... thank Bethesda for the inspiration or something. It's a feature now.

Open your script editor and press Ctrl+Shift+F. Paste the following line:

Ruby:
Expand Collapse Copy
if (Input.trigger?(Input::C) || Input.trigger?(Input::B))

It should display a search box that returns a sole result in "Messages". In vanilla 17.2, it appears to be line 1258.
Jump to the searched line by double-clicking it.

Directly above that line, paste the following code:

Ruby:
Expand Collapse Copy
    if Input.press?(Input::B)
      msgwindow.textspeed=-999
      msgwindow.update
      if msgwindow.busy?
        pbPlayDecisionSE() if msgwindow.pausing?
        msgwindow.resume
      else
        break if signWaitCount==0
      end
    end

When done, it should look like this:

...and that's all that's necessary!

You can change the key required to script by changing the Input::B part to another letter or key input, but "B" corresponds to the X key. Because RMXP is weird like that.

Cheers.
