Instructions


Paste the script before Main and after Window_Message or a custom message script.
You also will need this picture (you can use it if you credit me )


Customization

MessagePause_Image: Filename of the picture, must be in the Pictures folder, its dimensions are: 64x16 (16x16 per frame)
MessagePause_x: x position of the graphic. Based on this formula: message x + message width - pause x
MessagePause_y: y position of the graphic. Based on this formula: message y + message height - pause y
MessagePause_Frames: Total frames for each animation frame.

Compatibility

This script must work with any script.
