Search!

I posted one on the Code Snippets board a long time ago (it should work with little or no modification in DBPro).

Searching for 'Scrolling Text Box' would have found this:

Well if you want it like Pokemon then it's not really scrolling but rather just hitting the next line of strings.

Use an array to store your strings.

+ Code Snippet

sync on

Pos as float
dim Dialog$(10)

Dialog$(0) = "Hi what can I do for you?"
Dialog$(1) = "So you want to buy a Pokemon?"
Dialog$(2) = "I'm sorry but they cannot be sold."
Dialog$(3) = "If you want one then you have to catch it."
Dialog$(4) = "What don't have a Pokeball?"
Dialog$(5) = "Then scram! We only sell bikes here!"

ink rgb(255,255,255),0

do
   gosub PlayDialog
   sync
   cls
loop

   PlayDialog:

      text 100,100,left$(Dialog$(D),Pos)
      if Pos < len(Dialog$(D)) then inc Pos,.01

      if Pos => len(Dialog$(D))
         if spacekey()
            Pos = 0
            inc D
            if D = 6 then end
         endif
      endif
   return
