Hi guys I've been using a cool ABS lately, and wanted some help with something, I want that whenever someone casts a skill, a help window with the skill name appears on top of the screen, and disappears after a second or two.
I managed to have it show the skill name in the help window as I wanted, but I have 2 problems: one is that I can't seem t get rid of it, it either stays forever or disappears just after beeing created. ( I'm using both help_window.dispose and help_window.visible = false)
and the other problem is that after that window being shown (meaning a skill was cast)it gives me an error in scene save saying something like "no marshal_dump is defined for help_window class.
I don't know why it's making this, I've read that it means that a script is trying to save the help_window class itself, but that makes no sense, since I made the script and nowhere I told the game to save it when saving a gamefile...
this is the snippet I'm using to show the help window in battle:
(ignore the #'s it's just so I can save the game without crashing it)
I hope you can help me how to properly get rid of the help window where it should AND help me fix the problem in scene save.
btw this is the script for the abs:
