How do you add an option to the default Option Screen?

[firestalker]

I want to add an option to the Options Screen the changes a Switch or Variable so that I can call that Switch or Variable to make changes in an event [common or otherwise].  Unfortunately I have ZERO knowledge of Java and so have no idea how to do this.

Is there a way to add an option to the Options Screen so that I can either turn on/off a switch or add a value to a variable?

MV runs on JavaScript, not Java, there's a big difference. Also, adding an option that affects a switch is a little more complicated than just adding a new option, because the options are loaded in before a game is started, so the player could toggle the option before creating a new game, or before loading a saved one. I suppose, though, that a solution would be to hook into the new game creation and game load functions and add the value there.

Anyway, you'll need a plugin to do this, there's no way by default to add new options, or change how the existing ones work.

Thus, I prove my statement.

I had a feeling that would be the case...  Any idea where to start or maybe some pointers so I can try to make it myself?

there's alot of tutorial on youtube. If you already used with scripting and programming language, it's easy to figured it out.
