Is there a way to speed up the show scrolling text by a lot?

Is there any way to speed up the "Show Scrolling Text" to near unreadable levels? I'd like for the text to go by really fast. The "8" speed seems to still be too slow.

Hi there!
You can use $gameMessage.setScroll(speed, noFast) inside a script call.

I don't know how you set up the text though... Maybe with $gameMessage.add('text")
But I think you have to set the scroll mode off later:
$gameMessage._scrollMode = false

I keep getting an error for the noFast part What kind of code or text am I suppose to put in place of it?
and do I put the $gameMessage.setScroll(speed, noFast) and $gameMessage.add('text") on the same script call?

The noFast is true or false.
I didn't test it, but I think that is in this order, in the same script call:
$gameMessage.setScroll(speed, noFast)
$gameMessage.add('text")
$gameMessage._scrollMode = false

Well, I don't know much about javascript, but 'text" doesn't seem right to me.
It is either 'text' or "text".

It was just a typo, what means is that he have to replace 'text' or "text" with the message he wants to show in the scroll text command.

It didn't work when I put all three of those in a script call it comes out as a normal text box and not the scrolling text.

Sweet okay it works I just had to take out the $gameMessage._scrollMode = false and leave the
$gameMessage.setScroll(speed, noFast) and $gameMessage.add('text') in. Thank you so much!

Oh the quotes are not part of the code? Oops. I feel like such a noob now. Haha. (When it comes to javascript, I am a total noob indeed. Novice at best.)

Anyhow, glad happy to see it is solved.

haha! In fact, the quotes have to be in the code "My text is here", but not with two different quotes xD

Yeah, that is what I thought at first. In that case I'm glad I pointed it out.

Putting a ' instead of " or a : instead of ; are those tiny mistakes, noobs just blindly copy/paste. Not because we're stupid, but because if we don't know javascript, we won't know what is wrong.
