Text doesn't disappear?

[Ulqiorra]

I have been working on a script, and it displays text on the upper part of the screen.

I have a problem, the text is supposed to disappear over time... and it doesn't.

This is my update method(it's a window class)
[rgss] 
def update
  if @text != $text
    refresh
  end
  @wait -= 1
  if @wait < 1
    $text = ""
  end
  super
end
 
[/rgss]

what am i doing wrong?

does it need a dispose?

No, because it clears the bitmap and redraws it every frame.

I don't see where you are setting @text = $text
In the refresh method?

What I notice is that your text won't disappear because @wait countdown keeps decreasing even if its assigned value is less than 0... Besides it also says...

if @text != $text

  refresh

end

Maybe it takes too long to make a new value assignment to $text and so it "never" changes...
