Title: Custom Name
Post by: Open.14 on November 22, 2008, 11:51:11 PM
How do you put the name that you customly made into a text box?

I believe /n[i], where "i" is the number of the character.  For example, /n[1] would output Aluxes (or Arshes or whatever).

I could be wrong about that, you may need a UMS for that.  And it might be \ instead of /.

I think it is /N also, don't know if it's CAPS sensitive, but the help file on RPGMXP tells how to do them (variable and chara name and such)

Well you can use this any time you want the person to refer to a character/hero, either in your party or the main character. you guys are almost right. its actually \n[X](i had to use an Upper case x, because forsome reason it wouldn't show up, but i don't know why I'm telling you this...it doesn't matter...lolo?)

X is what ever number you put in there. The number is to represent the characters name.

For example, /n[1] would output Aluxes (or Arshes or whatever).

But like I said, if you want to use the name of someone else in your party, place the number of that person you want. if your confused, go to your data base and under the tab 'system' you'll see on your left top corner a list of characters. there numbers are the number that represent there names...

ex:

01:Joe
02:Jessie

(if you put in a text command)

Bill: You are so cool \n[1]! Not to mention your friend, \n[2], is really hot...

(Then when your character talks to him it will read like this...)

Bill: You are so cool Joe! Not to mention your friend, Jessie, is really hot...

It should also be known that you can reference Variables as well, by putting \v[X]. Again the X is the number of the Variable. This concept is again put to use if you want to change the color of the text. by putting this in before the word you want to be a different color, \c[X]. But make sure to change the color back right after the word you changed, or other wise all the words from then on out will be the new color. the numbers for the colors are as follows:

0-the original color
1-blue
2-red
3-green
4-teal
5-purple
6-yellow
7-grey

Hope that helped!
