Research: Special Message codes..

[cooley]

How can I change font once and all text in game will change?

What you're talking about is not a message code
You would have to edit the font, I don't know how, but there is a patch on PHO to change RUBY font into FireRed, and a patch to change Ruby Font into Diamond, etc.

Hey, nice tut Cooley...You got more things to be credited for... >.>
Anyway, is there a way to show an arrow?
Like -> or <-
Can you finish it? Or are you too lazy? Or busy? xD

It depends if you're using XSE or not...
If you are then just write [R] for the right arrow, for the up arrow, etc. And it has to be in caps.

If you're using anything else, I suggest you decompile it with something else, and see how they do it in-game...

Oh? Awesome!
...Can it be done on A Text cos I edit texts with it. Easier cos of auto-repoint and stuff telling size of...etc. I screwed up half the signs in Pallet when I script edited. xD

Well yes, and you can always decompile the script, and use one of XSE's not appreciated functions...

Which is mixed offsets. You decompile a script:

Find the offset you want to repoint, or add more text to.
