$PLAYER_1 type variable for player names to use in message text?

[mortexic]

The game im working on allows custom player names. Is there a way to use something like "Hello There $PLAYER1" in message text to auto-insert players names?

If the RMVX has the same code as RMXP.

Posted wrong code, go lower for the correct one.

Doesnt seem to work, what am I missing?

Sorry about that.

Its suppose to be \n[X]. XD

Use \n[X], X = Actor ID in the database.

So, in the event you use that code for the name, and in the game it will show the name of the player.

Example:
\n[0] shows the name of the first member of the party.
\n[1] shows the name of the first actor in the database.

The syntax is correct now, but I get a windows error popup window anytime the event is invoked. 

The error is "Script 'Window_Message' line 218: NoMethodError occured. undefined method 'name' for nil:nilclass"

I tried with different combinations of numbers of players in party and all that. No luck.

Thoughts?

Are you using a custom message system script?

[mortexic]

Nope, I'm pretty "default".

Don't know, maybe you should copy all the data from your project into a new project.

Actually, it's the default script's fault. It doesn't include an option to use the 0.

To fix it, go to line 218 in Window_Message and replace it with the following -

Code Select Expand

    @text.gsub!(/\\N\[([0-9]+)\]/i) { if $1.to_i == 0
                                        $game_party.members[$1.to_i].name
                                      else
                                        $game_actors[$1.to_i].name
                                      end }
