I was wondering if there is a way to change the player's name? Possibly with a value input dialogue so the user can type their own name in for the player's name?

I believe you can technically do that with Value Input, yes. You'd store it as a string variable Then you would just reference that variable for any dialogues.

However, it wouldn't change the Combatant's actual name; which proves additional problems in that you can't easily use that Variable as a Name for a speaker in dialogues/battles and things like that.

To make this more viable, it might be cool for ORK to have a second variable-based 'alternate' name for Combatants, that, when activated, can be used in instances like HUDs, Battles and Dialogues instead of their true name.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking too, didn't know if there might be an integrated method. Thanks, Kirb!

You can change the name of a combatant using the Set Combatant Name step. So, first use the Value Input Dialogue to let the player type in the name and use the variable to set the player's name :)

Wait, there IS a Set Combatant Name node!? Well then. :D

Awesome! Never noticed that step!
