def refresh
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.size = 15
mod = 0
$game_temp.ctext.each { |ltext|
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0 + mod, 300, 32, ltext)
mod = mod + 16
}
end
end
Scene_Map
Code:
class Scene_Map
alias oupdate update
alias omain main
def main
@cwindow = Window_Console.new
omain
@cwindow.dispose
end
def update
@cwindow.refresh
oupdate
end
end
Now edit Game_Temp, add this with the other accessors.
Code:
attr_accessor :ctext
Add this in the Game_Temp initalization method
Code:
@ctext = ["","","Game Initalized","Welcome to Game Name Here!"]
Add a new def to Game_Temp.
Code:
def push(msg)
pushi = 0
@ctext.each { |ltext|
#print(i)
if pushi == 3
@ctext[pushi] = msg
else
@ctext[pushi] = @ctext[pushi+1]
end
pushi = pushi + 1
}
end
Your Game_Temp should look something like this.

Adding Messages
To add a message to the console screen from an event, put a script call and do this.
Code:
$game_temp.push("Your message here.")
NOTE: Messages aren't handled, if you enter something extremely long its going to display like garbage from RGSS.
