Is there a script command that changes text speed?

Just like the question says. Is there a pb_____ or Kernel.pb_____
or anything I can use in an event to change the text speed like you would in the options menu?

The Options menu uses the following two lines:

...where value is (0=slow, 1=mid, 2=fast, 3=unstable superfast).

I believe value 3 will cause game-crashing hanging during battle. By default the speed is 2, and only a prat would make it slower.

So no, there's not really anything you can do about it.

Thanks thats perfect. I found these lines in the PokemonOptions script section but wasn't sure if they were what I needed.

I have this scene where a lot of text is going down the screen and wanted to make it go slightly slower no matter what the text speed is set at. This worked perfect as long as I set it back to 2 after.

Now I really want to try out this "Unstable Superfast" speed :D

While it's obviously a daft thing to change the text speed, a player may do so. You'll probably want to record the value of $PokemonSystem.textspeed before you make your changes, and set it back to that value at the end, just to keep what the player chose intact.

Alternatively, there's the message command \ts[X], where X is a number (or blank for instant). In this case, values of X include 3 (slow), 2 (mid), 1 (fast) and -2 (unstable superfast). The number is actually the number of frames to wait between displaying successive text characters (or if negative, how many characters to display per frame).
