I'm trying to set up a menu that contains 8 items and changes its item captions throughout the game.

These items will always contain the same function, but is there any simple method to just rename the items?
Or am I just going to have to set up a system of 'create menu's?

Menu ID's don't seem to function with any of the Menu Scripting Functions, so I'm guessing I'll be looking at #2.
But it'd be great if I could just do the renaming thing.

Well, there is another of changing menu's caption, thats what I did in my recent game. In the caption just write ${s(string you want to use)} and voila, every time you want to change the caption, just change the string value. Of course this method leaves you with less strings to work with.

Of course you could initialize the string before opening the menu, and clear the string after you close the menu, then if you want to use that string in another script, you can do so.
