Hi all!
I´ve got a real simple request. Currently using Blizz ABS in my game. I was thinking it would
be nice to be able to paus the entire game (pref. via a script call) when a messagebox is
showing. Just like the game pauses when you´re entering the menu.
Not sure how big of request this is, but as stated it´s probably just some simple
lines. Am I right?
thanks
EDIT: for RPG Maker XP
Have you tried searching the Database?

i don't think that's exactly what he requested. He wanted the game to stop when a message box comes up, so the enemies can't come and kill you while you read a dialogue (like they always do in BlizzABS^^)
I dont think they try to kill you when a message is active

Stop thinking and start opening the RGSS player, then.

They do. It even sometimes happens that when I speak to someone in my game that they just walk through impassable tiles and start to attack me. They don't do that anymore because I solved the incompatibility issues, but they still can attack me when a msg box is opened.
That´s right!
I don´t want the enemies come killing the player when there´s a dialogue going on. I don´t even want them
to move around (for that I guess I could just deactivate the ABS?). Just want the game to freeze, just like
when you open up the first menu (when using Blizz ABS, you know where you can select hotkeys and AI-
behavior).
Thanks for your effort Starrodkirby86, but as Subsonic said; that´s not what I need!
EDIT: Even though I could miss things, I always search before requesting.
Ah! It's more of a problem with me being unsure of the specifics within each script. I only look at the basic premise of it, after all.
...Hm...Curses. If only RMXP had RM2k's feature of allowing events to move or not. I shouldn't see the difficulty in how this script can be implemented as all you need to do is pretty much move the 'map freezing' script commands (More like copypasta it) right before the message box launch script commands.
For me they just cluster up around me, can't hit me or anything.
But then again, it is like 50 versions of blizz abs ago that I was in that kind of situation..
