Help Window for Choices
Version: 1.0
Author: DiamondandPlatinum3
Date: December 4, 2012
Planned Future Versions
- You tell me :)
Description
This script adds on to the default choice system, allowing you to have a help window at the top of the screen to assist players in the choices they have to make.
Features
- Shows a help window for selectable choices, you can give a bit more information to the player about what they're choosing between.
- Will not display a help window if there is nothing to display, this means that you only have to worry about the help window appearing if you put data into it, maybe you have more important choices for the player to make :zwink:

A demo is unnecessary for a script such as this.

I sometimes fall asleep to the StickerBrush Symphony :V it's so peaceful
Terms of Use
If you can find a use for it, this script is free to use in non-commercial games. If you want to use this script in a commercial game, please understand that I expect a free copy (that's means you PM me and let me know that you plan on using it for a commercial game).
Updated this script, I recommend anyone who is using it to get the latest version.
I overlooked the fact that I didn't alias a method in the original one and this could potentially cause incompatibilities with others scripts.
Also whenever a choice window never had any help text associated with it, it would briefly appear then disappear really quickly... Just quick enough not to be annoying but slow enough for it to be noticable. I couldn't really fix that since that has to do with the hidden window class; so instead I've animated it so it isn't noticable anymore.
By animate, I mean that it now flies into view when it's being used.
So it looks a little nicer and doesn't appear randomly anymore, plus any incompatibility it may have created has been crushed... that's my update. :)
