Script for extra information in menu

Is there a script so you can put extra information about items and weapons in the menu's? Not in the description but somewhere else? For example to create recipes and books and show the text in the menus.

yes and no - it isn't that simple, because you need not only a way to display the additional information, but also to store that information.


And that depends on what you're planning to use the info for...


For example, there are several crafting scripts that have their own way to store and display recipes, and there are other scripts (usually journal or encyclopedia) who display additional info about specific objects, like a bestiary that displays all enemy data.


You will not find any general display options, but if you decide what you want to be displayed and search for that specifically, you'll usually find several scripts that can be used.


So instead of asking by a general example only, asking us what you want to display specifically and we'll link you to the required scripts.

I just want an item that is a recipe that shows what you need to make an axe, for example. So the additional information in the item 'recipe axe' will be: Ore x1 and wooden shaft x1. 

And how do you want the player to make the axe? As in what buttons or events he should execute?


There is a description field on all items, and that description is displayed whenever that item is highlighted, so that could theoretically be used.


Or you can make pictures containing that description, and give the item the feature of calling a common event displaying that picture.


Or about half a dozen other options on how to get the info to the player, but none of that option works automatically. For example, you can use a journal script, type the description into the script for a certain page, then make an item for activating that page, so it can be displayed when the player next goes to the journal.


Or you could use one of the crafting script that automatically display all known recipes when their crafting screen is called - and depending on whar crafting script you want to use, that info has to be in the item description with one script, or the item notetag with another script, or inside the script itself with a third script...


As you can see now, there is NO ONE way to do what you want, but to decide which of several ways would be the best for you, you need to tell us what you're planning to do.

I think I found a crafting script that meets my requirements. And I am sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my previous posts. I am new and I try to learn new things every day. Also, I will probably create more topics like this in the near future. And thanks for the help, It's much appreciated.
