Ok i'm making a game atm and want the main hero's name to be chosen by the player. I know how to get the Player to type in a new name through the events screen and so on.. But i was wondering how, in messages to the character, would an NPC say his name? For example would i put:
"hello ..." as the coding? need help :S
-
Enter "n
- " with x being the number of the hero in the database.

Hey guys, thanks for that help.. But when i do the enter user name in the events menu, it won't let the player type in his name :S, gonna mess around a bit and see if i can fix it, but help would be nice hehe

don't you need a back-slash?
*backslash*n
Or, did you put one, and charas just killed it?

What version of rpg maker are you using? Rm2k and older version of rm2k3 don't support the 'change hero name' command. There are mods around that fix it, but if you're using rm2k3, its probably a better idea to just update to a newer version rather than getting a mod for it.
And yes, charas kills the \
in order to type a \ in the forum, you need to type \\
Anyways, the character name is \n[xxxx]. I'm pretty sure you need a 4 digit number as thats how the database is set up. Anyway, if typing \n[1] doesn't work, type \n[0001].

hey guys, thanks for all that help, downloaded a mod and got it to work - it's the n[1] not n[001] by the way ;P - Look out for my game sometime this year maybe :D
