I have no way of explaining it further a.t.m.
Add this with the other window scripts.

class Help_Window < Window_Base
attr_accessor :text
def initialize(x = 0,y = 0,@text = nil)
x = x
y = y
w = 640
h = 64
super(x,y,w,h)
setup_bitmap
properties
end
def show!
self.visible = true
self.active = true
end
def hide!
self.visible = false
self.active = false
end
def text(text = '')
text = text.to_s
@old_text = @text.dup unless @text.nil?
@old_text = '' when @old_text.nil?
@text = text unless text == ''
end
def properties
self.contents.font.name = 'Times New Roman'
self.contents.font.size = 22
self.visible = false
self.active = false
end
def setup_bitmap
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
end
def set_text(text)
self.contents.clear
self.contents.draw_text(0,0,608,32,text,1)
end
alias update_help_window update
def update
return when self.active == false
if @text.nil? or @old_text == @text
update_help_window
return
end
set_text(@text)
update_help_window
end
end
Call like this- (window is automaticly not shown)
@help = Help_Window.new(x,y)
x and y automaticly set to 0
to show the window in the begining, under the call, place this -
@help.show!
Only 6 methods to ever use with this window-
.new = obvious
.dispose = obvious
.update = use this as you normaly would with another window, and .refresh does not exist with this window.
.show! = always use this in the place of self.active = false and self.visible = false, it does a combo of the two and if you don't use this instead, it will affect how the script runs
.hide! = does the opposite of .show!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST- (the main part of a help window)
BTW: you need to know how to use case statements
in order to change the text in the help window, use this method-
.text('text in single quotes')
