OK. I'll look for it. Thanks.

A question:

Does anyone know where is the script that says that a text message disappears when you press C? I want to change it so it disappears when you press X, C, or UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT, as in Pokémon FR/LG. I've tried changing some Input.trigger? codes I found but none worked.
 
Pokemon Demon Black

Me and my friend have just got a idea for a new Pokemon game. But we are kind of stuck. Could someone maybe help us get some ideas for new Pokemon? I think my friend has already came up with a region name, but he hasn't told me it yet. So anyone have ideas to help us out?

Well, your best bet is to find a very creative person, and beg them to join the staff. Because if you want to come up with new Pokémon, you'll need a lot of creativity.
 
Where can I download these programs? I really wanna make my own game!
 
Rm2k3 color problems

I've imported my pokemon tiles over the old rm2k3 tiles but everything has gone all brown in-game. I'm so close to posting the game but this is a problem that i must fix first.
 
In gamemaker when i try to animate the character running like in the real pokemon games it always goes rapidly fast and i can't even stop it.
 
I tried but it still didn't work i guess i will try again and how would I stop the animation when the person releases the key.
 
I have Pokegear script. I need script for Phone and script for show here on map.
 
You don't request for scripts here. This place is only for sorting out problems. Why not you check on the Tutorials Section. If you can't find it there try checking on the display options there at the tutorials then when you see from the [last month] change it to [Beginning]. Then check if it's there. Hope this helps! :D

Help with sphere

I just started sphere and written a text engine, I'm having trouble and how to color a word..

I was thinking

TextBox("Yo "textcolor=1" User "textcolor=0"!")
but doubt that'd work.

Code: 
var TSPD = 5;

var TextSpeed = TSPD;
var textcolor = 0;
//example if textcolor = 1 it's red

function WaitForKey(key)
{
GetKey();
if (IsKeyPressed(key))
{
}

else
{
	WaitForKey(key);
}
}


function TextBox(text)
{
Height = 38;
Width = GetScreenWidth() - 30;

if (IsMapEngineRunning()) { RenderMap(); }
var CurrentSurface = GrabImage(0, 0, GetScreenWidth(), GetScreenHeight());
var StringLength = text.length;
var OutText = "";
var s = 0;

while (s < StringLength)
{
	s++;
	CurrentSurface.blit(0,0);
	Window.drawWindow(15, 185, Width, Height);
	OutText = text.slice(0, s);
	Font.drawTextBox(15, 185, Width, Height, 0, OutText);
	RenderStuff();
	Delay(TextSpeed);
}

WaitForKey(KEY_CTRL);
}


function RenderStuff()
{
FlipScreen();
if (IsMapEngineRunning())
{
	RenderMap();
}
}


function BigTextBox(text)
{
Width = 224;
Height = 160;

var CurrentSurface = GrabSurface(0, 0, GetScreenWidth(), GetScreenHeight());
if (IsMapEngineRunning()) { RenderMap(); }

CurrentSurface.blit(0,0);
BigWindow.drawWindow(15, 15, Width, Height);
BigBoxBallPic.blit(Width - 40, Height - 37);
Font.drawTextBox(15, 15, Width, Height, 0, text);
RenderStuff();

WaitForKey(KEY_S);
}
 
That wouldn't work at all, it would need to look like this:
Your gonna need to change the :
function Textbox(text) to function Textbox(text,color)
also for your text color's make them into varibles.
I forgot what you need to do in the drawTextBox but you need to make it so that it functions with colors.

Otherwise i think it would work smoothly.
 
Font.drawTextBox(15, 185, Width, Height, 0, OutText,color);
Something like that?

I can tell by your name and post that you are extremely new to GameMaker. Pokemon games are not easy to make in Gamemaker, start with something small and work up.
To asnwer the question, set the image speed (use the gray var button under the control tab, or the code "image_speed=") to a lower number, like .5, .25, etc. To stop, set image_speed to 0.
 
Ok I need some help. I am running rm2003 on vista but the help file is not chm so I cant see it. Can someone copy paste the specifications for characters and tilesets

Note: When dithering pictures in a True Color (16.7 million colors/24 bit) environment, the colors shown after dithering may differ depending on the system environment, graphics card, etc. Using software that can adjust palettes with 15-bit precision can mitigate this problem.
