I was wondering if it's possible to rename combatants when you add them to the team (initializing a game event). If so, how would one go about doing that? Is it similar to changing the name of the Player?
That'd still use the Set Combatant Name node, just like renaming the player. Alternatively, you can also use a Change Selected Data Name node in case the combatant is stored in selected data.
Instead of using a Player actor, you'd e.g. use a Member actor with the correct index (e.g. index 1 would be the 2nd combatant in the group), or get the combatant via a Select Combatant or Search Combatants node and use that in the name changing node.
In short - renaming any combatant works just like renaming the player, you simply need to have the right actor/object you want to rename :)
