Can I manually change the "_last_say_who"?

[mahoop]

The only way I can define the "_last_say_who" is when I call a text box or I can do it manually as a variable?

Well, I would assume there's no reason you can't set it manually, but it would be overwritten as soon as the next say statement. Why do you need to?

I don't know how to do it.
My character image os based on it, so I want more ways to manipulate it.

...then don't use _last_say_who to control your character image? _last_say_who is updated by the engine on every say statement. If you want to control the image manually, use a different, non-system variable.

Due to my scheme I prefer to use it, there is a way to change it, other than automatically?

@edit
I mean, I need a way to edit it between scenes, not in image definition

Did you try to assign to it?

Like _last_say_who = 'someone'?

It should be:

Code: Select all

$ _last_say_who = 'mc'

Perfect! That's what I wanted!
