Text Speed (Battle but NOT Battle Speed!)

[Ultimacj]

I've seen a lot of battle text speed related questions but the question I have is similar.


I'm trying to display text instantly prior to the battle starting.  You know the default XX enemy emerged.  While I've changed wording, I'm also centering it.  Since it doesn't display instantly rather than letter by letter (or this case space by space), it takes a minute to show up and looks awkward.


The display of the battle message is of course in VOCAB under scripts:


# Basic Battle Messages
  Emerge          =  "                                       ENCOUNTER!!"
  Preemptive      = "%s got the upper hand!"
  Surprise        = "%s was surprised!"
  EscapeStart     = "%s has started to escape!"
  EscapeFailure   = "However, it was unable to escape!"


I am using the Yanfly message system but since this within a SCRIPT the \> and other message codes used within the message box system does not work/apply here, I've tried them both inside and outside the quotes.  The program just displays the lettering itself when the fight starts and crashes with an error if outside the "".


My question is how can I show this instantly is there a text display speed option within the scripts?


I do not mind if it ends up displaying everything at once for all message boxes if that's what it has to come to.


Thanks!

Pretty sure you just need two backslashes.


Emerge          =  "\\>                                       ENCOUNTER!!"

That seemed to do the trick thanks.


Seems to also work with font sizes, colors, and font changes with yanfly's message system.  I find it odd that it actually works within "" since in Ruby anything in "" is usually a display text like other programming languages.  I wonder why \\'s are needed?


Anyhoo thanks Riniboi!

The normal "\>" is the command to display text all at once, but since in strings the '\' character is used for special caracters (like \n for example) you have to use two of them to only get one printed. \> is not a special character, they are two character of a string and RPG Maker undesrtands that when you have those it has to display the text all at once.
