Have a text display event, simple RPG style that shows text when you’re in an area and press a button. However, when the event is first called, it takes two button presses to start. After that, provided the scene has not changed, it only takes one button press. I am using a textbox object that is instanced with custom functions but this works fine in the other events I have made. I think I’ve been looking at it too long and wonder what I am missing. It has to be something in the Input section that I am certain will be disappointingly obvious once I see it. XD
