Easy Text Skip

Improved version of Amethyst's Text Skip script for Essentials v20

Overview:

This plugin adds the ability for players to quickly skip through messages by holding down a key (the BACK key by default). This plugin uses the script from Amethyst's Text Skip Tutorial, but should be easier to install and allows for more configuration.
The original script forced people to hard-code the text-skipping into their game, which is not always ideal if you want to remove it from the game again, or perhaps you want to enable text skipping, but only temporarily within the game. With the Easy Text Skip plugin, this is super easy to do!


Installation & Configuration:

Installation:

Step 1: Download the plugin from the button in the top right corner of the page.
Step 2: Extract the contents of the ZIP file into your game's root folder. (The folder with Game.exe in it)
Step 3: Run the game, and make sure to compile your plugins. (Hold CTRL while starting)
You should now be able to skip messages in your game by holding the Back key. (X or ESC by default)

Disable and Enable Text Skipping by Default:

Step 1: Open the Easy Text Skip.rb file in the Plugins/Easy Text Skip/ folder. (.rb files can be opened with any text editor)
Step 2: Look for ALLOW_TEXT_SKIP = true and change it to false if you want to disable it by default, or leave it as true if you want to enable it by default.

Disable and Enable Text Skipping Within the Game:

Even if you put false in the .rb file, you can simply do $PokemonSystem.text_skip = true or $PokemonSystem.text_skip = false in an event to enable or disable the ability to text-skip anytime during the game.

Changing the Text Skip Button:

Step 1: Open the Easy Text Skip.rb file in the Plugins/Easy Text Skip/ folder. (.rb files can be opened with any text editor)
Step 2: Look for TEXT_SKIP_BUTTON = Input::BACK and change the Input::BACK to whichever button you want. The possible inputs are documented within the script, right underneathTEXT_SKIP_BUTTON

This has saved me a lot of time skipping dialogue during playtesting!
Editing cut scenes is made so much easier! A must implement for the testing phase!
