I've seen a few things recently where when there was a message that had more text, an icon popped up that told you there was more text to come. A good example of this would be in Arena Fight or Link to Tortuga. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, how could I implement this cool little trick into my quest I'm making? :odd:

If you go into the Quest > Graphics > Sprites > Weapons/Misc, you'll find an option called MISC: More...

This is where you set the graphic you wish to use for the icon.

To set more text, you just make multiple strings and use the Next string part to set it up. This will link your strings and will allow for more text. The coords for the next icon can also be defined in the strings part. The numbers I used are 210 X, 63 Y, or 210 in the first space, 63 in the second.

Have fun making more elaborate stories and NPC text than 3 lines. :)
