Message Pause Cursor for VX ACE

[The007who]

Hey all!
I saw this thread for MV made by HimeWorks https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/message-pause-cursor.52984/
I was just thinking if someone could make one for VX ACE to add to my project.

EDIT: Well the option that I would need is to position the pause icon at the ending of text.

Edit: there's no option to position the pause icon at the ending text other than x, y position.

Unfortunately that would be option that I would need.

Working on it.
Got this much so far.
Allows you to change the position from left to center to right (default by script) by changing a variable.
Working on changing the image file as well, just having a glitch where you have to open a screen before it updates the image file.
Maybe someone can help me with that.

@tv.ghost thanks for the reminder. I gave up on this. But now I just added in the option to change the icon.
