[XP] Questions about scrolling, text and opacity.

Question

I'm working with a game to try different things, to learn. I have everything written down and know what should happen, but while working in RPG Maker XP I got stuck.

I'll try to be detailed while explaining.

 

Question One:

How do I make the text show without having to press Enter to change all the time (in a dialogue for example)? Automatic text.

 

Question Two:

The cutscene starts in a room, people coming in and out all the time. Daughter talks to mother, they sit down and mother tells a story.

The story starts with a battle, which I made a battlescene for. I used thunder, rain, fog and a couple of parallell processes to create

fights on the map. Then I'm scrolling this battlescene up and at the same time fading out.

But I want to be able to show text during the time it scrolls, since the mother is talking about that scene.

So the question is; How do I make the text show during the scrolling?

 

The change from Scene 1 (Room) to Scene 2 (Battle) is working perfectly, but I can't find a way to put text and scrolling together.

 

Question Three:

My last question is about character opacity. As mentioned above, it starts in a room. When the cutscene starts, both the girl and her maid

is in the screen. Girl stands by a desk, maid walks towards her and talks to her. Later maid walks away and mother on the way in. But the

problem is that in the beginning of the event, I had to make the mothers character opacity 0 because I wanted her to show up later. But

when I playtest, she flickers once - scene continues, maid walks in and out and mother appears and it continues. It looks very, very

unprofessional this way.

So the question is; What do I need to do for the mother not to flicker when I start the game (playtesting)?

 

 

I am truly sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, or if it's only allowed with one question per topic.

Thank you for helping.

For the 1st 2 answers here is 2 mesage systems that will help you. Just pick one they almost do the same thing.

All you need is in the directions so you need to read.

 

For the last one. try a switch instead.

Thank you, Polraudio, for the answer.

Could you please explain where to put the switches?

Should I put them on the separate event tile, or one the mothers tile?

 

Thank you.

Make the person you want to appear require a switch to be turned on for them to appear and off to make them disappear instead of opacity. Makes it easier to control.
