Real Time Script Caller

[Zeak6464]

Introduction

This script will allow you to open a small box while the game is running and type script calls into, which will execute when the Enter button is pressed.
Features

-Built in rescue to keep game from crashing if the script call is written wrong, etc. Instead it shows the error and continues on.
-Did I mention you can make up script calls and change things at run-time.
-Press F7 to use
-Place above Main
