Combatant name in variable

azazello

Hi! How would I get the player (or any other event actor) name to display it in a dialogue? Also: is it possible to print local variables or object variables with #varstringX#? it seems I can only print global variables.

Something like "Hi, [Player], how are you?". I know how to access the player object, but I don't know how to transfer the "name" information to a variable.

Thanks for your help, Luca

Add the player as an actor and you can use the actor text codes to display the name, e.g. if the player is actor 0, you can use this text code for the player's name: #actor.name0#

Variables can currently only display global variables.

That's perfect, thank you very much! That's what I looked for at the beginning, but I couldn't find it in the text codes how-to. Did I miss it? Or maybe I was checking the wrong page?

The how-to on text codes don't list all available text codes. You can easily add all text codes through the buttons available in the text editor - click on the More button to show all available options.
