Controlling the speed at which the message screen opens

[JDevain]

To be clear, I'm not talking about the speed of the text inside the dialogue window, but the actual opening of window itself. It takes about, I dunno, 20 frames to open? I'd like to make it instant. Is there a way to do that?

(btw, wasn't sure if this should be in the javascript forum, because I don't know if there's a javascript way to do it.)

Thanks!

Window_Base.prototype.updateOpen = function() {
    if (this._opening) {
        this.openness += 32;
        if (this.isOpen()) {
            this._opening = false;
        }
    }
};

Window_Base.prototype.updateClose = function() {
    if (this._closing) {
        this.openness -= 32;
        if (this.isClosed()) {
            this._closing = false;
        }
    }
};

Like gstv87 says, it's openness that controls this. You can save the following as a .js file & import as a plugin:

// Instant open
(function(alias) {
  Window_Base.prototype.open = function() {
    alias.call(this);
    this._openness = 255;
  };
})(Window_Base.prototype.open);

// Instant close
(function(alias) {
  Window_Base.prototype.close = function() {
    alias.call(this);
    this._openness = 0;
  };
})(Window_Base.prototype.close);

Just remove the second part if you want to keep the "closing" animation~

(Got this as one feature of many in one of my released plugins in case anyone's interested: Cae_MenuDisplayOpts.js)

Wow, that was fast, thanks!

At first I did put it in a .js file and import, but then decided that I want to toggle it on and off sometimes, so I instead put it in an event that runs it as a script, and it works perfectly.
