MarkHest wants to learn RGSS!

[MarkHest]

Hi, just resently i started learning RGSS to make scripts for RMXP. This topic is practically just a 'help' topic for myself whenever i need help with something that has to do with scripting.
I made this topic so that i don't have to create a 'new' topic for every single question i have(there will be a few...) and that i only have to create a post here instead.
I will always look for help in the 'help' file for RGSS first before i ask question. So if i post a question here it is one of the following reasons: I am too stupid to find the answer, the answer did not exist, i understand parts of the answer but i need to know more.

So yeah, let me start with the first question:
I know i can use $game_map.events[ID].moveto(0, 0) to move events on a map, but what do i write to select the 'event in process' instead of an event ID. Meaning, move the event i am placing the ScriptCall in.

Question two: And the other queston is the same but i want to move the player instead of an event.

I just want to know what to write instead of events[ID].

[G_G]

character = get_character(character_type)
character.moveto(x, y)

Substitute "character_type" for one of the following:
-1 = The player.
0 = The current event that's processing the script call
Alternatively, you can also replace "character_type" with an actual event id.

EDIT: Also throwing this out there, we have a thread for general questions and whatnot.

So it should look like this if i want to move the event in process?

$game_map.character = get_character(0).moveto(0, 0)

or maybe like this?

$game_map.character = get_character(0)
$game_map.character.moveto(x, y)

*Tests it out*
edit: error

and about your help topic, i'd rather have a separate topic where i can keep track of what i am doing.

Literally, copy and paste that code G_G provided into a script call within an event and change the placeholder parameters with actual values. And watch the magic work~ 

You can look up 'Interpreter 2' and scroll to the bottom where it says 'def get_character(parameter)' if you want to understand the code more.

[MarkHest]

Oh, thank you G_G and KK20!
Worked perfectly!

I never said i was a 'total' beginner and that my knowledge is very limited.
More stupid quesions will show up in the future

Okay! NEW QUESTION!

I just resently took on the task to try and make a new option in the menu, by doing this i switched the 'Save' option to a new option called 'Info'.
So i wanted this new option in the menu to be called 'Info'. I just have a few questions about the few commands that i can't seem to understand.

First off we have the Window Command. I've seen @help_window = Window_Help.new in nearly every Scene_Menu script and wonder what this command is and what it does. Why is it named 'help'? What is a 'help window'?

[G_G]

The help window gives information about RPG data in various scenes.

Scene_Skill
- It's what displays the Skill's description.
Scene_Item
- It's what displays the Item's description.
Scene_Equip
- Weapon/Armor description.
Scene_File/Save/Load
- Telling you what slot to choose
Scene_Battle
- Displays Skill description
- Displays Item description
- Displays battler name when choosing target
- Displays the Skill or Item that's getting used at the moment.

Oh! That explains a lot
Thanks ^^
