#  Galv's Messages Without Wait
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  For: RPGMAKER VX ACE
#  Version 1.1
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  2012-10-24 - Version 1.1 - alias names updated for compatibility
#  2012-10-21 - Version 1.0 - release
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  Changes message system to allow the player to move around while message boxes
#  are on the screen. These dialog boxes disappear after moving a certain
#  distance - much like the game Chrono Trigger.
#
#  INSTRUCTIONS
#  Flip the disable switch ON to make the messages stop player movement again.
#  See script setup options for settings.
