Putting that nice new command

[G-man]

Hey folks G-man here, requesting help on a simple script that shows New next to a command in the menu when something is added and such. How do I go about this? if u need more info just post. many thanks in advance
EX:Kingdom Hearts II(everytime something was added it had that New next to it.

well, my suggestion would be that using either a module or a global variable. Example(using GV):

$items = $game_party.items

then in Scene_Menu, right before the creation of the command_window:

s1 = "Items"
s1 += "*new" if $items != $game_party.items
$items = $game_party.items

note that you don't have to record the new item list right there. I would do it when the Items menu is selected(Scene_Item).

If you want the *new in a different color, then you will have to edit Window_Command.

Hope this helps a bit, did it fast cause "Myself-musician,eventer,scripter" on your sig.
