Stat changing colors when equipped with a different weapon or armor

[Kinnison]

I know this is possible, is there a script somewhere around here that alters the color of the number for stats that are about to change when a weapon with different power is equipped.

I mean something like this

ATK 120
DEF 100
MDF 100

When I am about to equip the character with something else, I want the stat goes like this

ATK 120 > 135
DEF 100 > 75
MDF 100 > 100

When theres a stat change occurs, I want the new stat to have some notification color instead of the plain white system color.

Gotta admit that I'm suck at explaining but please help 8-)

Didn't know whether it existed or not but it seemed very simple to make. To install simply insert a new section above main in the script editor script listings and paste in the code below.

Good luck with it Kinnison! :thumb:

@khmp:
Hey, it works. This is just what I need. Thanks :D

 

[khmp]

Well I learned it's not elseif it's elsif. So it was a win-win situation I guess.

 

[Kinnison]

Yup, its a win-win. I had a hard time figuring this out you know

Guess everything solved now.
