Title: Name Entry System
Post by: CompactNinja on October 18, 2008, 05:23:53 AM

Alright, I have a problem.
I am currently attempting to make a name entry system. Ive got most of it up and working but I'm having trouble changing the Heroes name. Yes I know that sounds weird seeing I have it mostly working. I was wondering if there was any command in RMK2 that stores words. I basically have 6 heroes and the all represent one letter spot. Then I stick em all together with \N[0001]\N[0002]\N[0003] etc etc etc. works fine if i want people to say it...but i cant set it to the heroes name. Any help I would appreciate.
(and yes ive tried the inbuilt name entry thingamajig it doesnt work...not to mention that half of it is in russian)

you mean like that?
If your using 2K3 then you use enter hero hame command..and that changes the name..then its /n[0] /n[1] 
...the 0 one is chosen by who the party leader is..and Is very useful

the problem is in 2k itself....if you used 2K3 then it works fine

No no, you're missing what he's asking.

He's using a custom naming system, so that wouldn't work.

CompactNinja, there are two ways of doing what you want. The first, which is the longest and hardest, would be to make condition forks for each possible name that could be created, and then used the "change hero name to" command. If you did this allowing a maxium of say... 5 letters, then you would need 26 to the power of 5 conditions to make sure that the hero name is correct. Not worth it in my opinion.

The second way is to assign a varible to each letter, then use a Picture in the text box when you want the name to pop up. This looks pretty bad, but is a lot easier to do.

Overall, you're better off using the default system of naming a hero... no matter how crappy it might look. But, since you can't, I would recommend either downloading the english version instead of the russian version of rm2003, or just pick a name for the character to have throughout the entire game and stick with it.
