RMMZ dialogue playing while character walks?

[akuakudac]

Is there a way to enable dialogues playing in the background while still allowing the player to move? Basically i just dont want to be stopped by dialogue every time a character speaks, and i want to played automatically in the background1 I looked around and the closest thing i found was this thread detailing the same question,https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/inde...ation-without-stopping-player-movement.35334/, except its on VXace.
Can anyone help me out? thank you.

By default the message window locks normal player input when open, so you'll need a plugin for this.

I've moved this thread to JS Plugin Requests. Thank you.

You could either look for a plugin specifically written for this kind of thing, e.g.

Gab Window VisuStella MZ - Yanfly.moe Wiki

www.yanfly.moe

...or you could try to rig something with other plugins, e.g. the TextPicture plugin present by default in new MZ projects.

galv_Timed Message Popups can do what you want but it's for MV,
not sure if it works with FOSSIL added though, but he might port
it sooner or later to MZ.

Hi there!

There is also this one from Triacontane, which I believe works on MV and MZ. And it is free:

RPGMakerMV/MessageWindowPopup.js at mz_master · triacontane/RPGMakerMV

RPGツクールMV、MZで動作するプラグインです。. Contribute to triacontane/RPGMakerMV development by creating an account on GitHub.

I also have one, but is paid:

This is what I use to have the effect, but it is a lot of trouble to actually set up timing of conversations. Also there is yanfly's gab window you can check out as well.

thats a really good idea actuallu
Unfortunately none of the other plugins worked so i think ill just stick to that, thank you!

Strange that none of the MZ plugins worked for you, but good to hear you're OK with the TextPicture workaround!

It should be fairly simple to simulate a layout like the VisuStella/Yanfly Gab window with that, just by using another picture for the background (higher picture IDs show on top of lower ones).

If you want hovering speech bubbles, that could get awkward because you'd need to manually determine the size of the bubbles in each case.
