Changing Names

[nevfx]

This is a very n00bish question, but I need to ask it.

How can you change the names of the actors to the name you input under the "Name Input Processing" event command?

[Blizzard]

Goes automagically after the player inputs a name.

[nevfx]

It didn't for me...

[Blizzard]

Maybe something is wrong with your scripts. Post the Window_Name_Input or whatever and Scene_Name.

[Snailer]

I think he means that it will change when message is shown..
To do that you need a command but don't know it >.<

[Blizzard]

If Snailer is right, you need to use \n[X] in messages if you want to show the actor's real names. X is the ID of the actor in the database.

[nevfx]

I know that yeah.

Hm... I don't see anything wrong with them... Do you have a script that has modified the Interpreter class? Post a list of all scripts that you are using.

[nevfx]

All the default scripts.
Your Tons Of Add ons:
CENTRE BATTLER: ON
BARS: ON
ALL UTILITY EXCEPT HPSPPLUSS AND DEATH TOLL: ON
ALL STATUS AND SKILL ADD ONS OFF
ANIMATED TITLE AND EQ SKILLS OFF

LETTER BY LETTER (NO SDK)

ANIMATED SAVE FILES

And there is a cutscene before the title screen.

[nevfx]

Sorry to double post but I think I might know. After changing the name, I added them to the part with "Initialize" ticked. Is that why?

EDIT: It is. I feel like a n00b, sorry to waste your time.

[Blizzard]

Lol, no problem. I am here to help.
