Moving Message Arrow/Button

I honestly don't even know what to call the issue I have or its name. So, I have a screenshot below of the "A" button continue arrow or button to continue on with your message. Basically it tells you to click to move on to the next passage of the message. I would like to move it to the right of my message window, but.. I have no idea how to go about this. I would appreciate the help, thanks 


*I have a very basic script understanding, so I somewhat just need to be pointed in the direction to go about changing/moving this.

That would be something within the Window class, and I don't see any properties or methods in the help file that you could use to adjust it.

I would probably just hide the arrow and roll out my own image.

What do you mean just hide the arrow and use your own image? All i am wanting is to move it over, its perfect as is... just the location is the problem.

I don't believe it can be done.

She probably meant that you remove the arrow from the window skin (causing the game to display nothing at that place) and make your own picture for the arrow, placing it where you want it to be.

Unfortunately that would remove the arrow from all window lists, and you can't place a picture everywhere the original arrow was used.

Please check the advanced messaging systems available on the master script list - perhaps one of them has the options you need. To change that in default would probably require a lot of scripting (that's what Shaz meant in the last post), but if you have some luck that work might have been done in one of those message scripts.

But alright, I hate to use message scripts just for something so small. But thanks for the help everyone.

There's no guarantee that a message script will achieve it.


If it's "something so small", maybe you should not focus on it so much. It REALLY is not going to matter to players whether the icon is in the middle or on the right. Don't put too much time into something that is going to have almost no effect on your game.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
