Introduction

GabWindowScreen5.gif

Sometimes there's random jibber jabber that does not warrant a message box. The Gab Window fulfills that jibber jabber by placing such text outside of the message window box and at the corner of the screen. The gab text will appear briefly and then disappear, not showing up again until the gab text is updated with something else.

Features include all (but not limited to) the following:

  • Create gab text that does not interrupt gameplay.
  • Gabs can be queued together to create a streamlined conversation.
  • Gabs can play sound effects when played, allowing you to attach voices to them if desired.
  • Multiple lines can be used per gab to display more text.
  • Attach faces, map sprites, sideview sprites, and even pictures to gabs.
  • Gabs can be automatically positioned above specific events, actors, and even enemies.
  • Turn on switches after a gab is completed.
  • Run custom JavaScript code upon displaying or finish a gab.

Requirements

This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker.


Tier 4

This plugin is a Tier 4 plugin. Place it under other plugins of lower tier value on your Plugin Manager list (ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

This is to ensure that your plugins will have the best compatibility with the rest of the VisuStella MZ Plugin library.
