Change character name dynamically[SOLVED!]

[Yuuji]

Hello! I want to use in my game 2 names transcription systems: polivanov and hepburn and I want to allow user change it in game's preferences. So, I want to be able change character name. Is there a way to implement that? I'd appreciate any help.

Code: Select all

init:
    variable = "Name"
    define c = Character([variable])

And with this code when I change variable, character object will change either? I thought when I define character, object is created and variable is copying to this object. Or not?

As Philat writes, using interpolation is the way to do it.

In my game I organize it like so:

Code: Select all

define b = Character('[barb_name]', color="#994411", what_color="#FFFFCC", 
    what_slow_cps=20, what_slow_abortable=False)
define c = Character('[cust_name]', color="#99FF66", what_color="#FFFFCC")

label start:    
    
    #variables
    $ cust_name = "Customer"
    $ barb_name = "Barber"

    b "{=narr}(Rising at once--)\n{/=narr}{fast}Good afternoon, sir." #Barber Friendly
    c "My good man, it that clock right?" #Customer C1 Concerned

    $ barb_name = "Thomas"

    b "Call me Thomas, if you like, sir."
   
    $ cust_name = "Smitty"
    c "Well then, Thomas, you may call me Smitty."

This code works in my game and the documentation is here:

I put the name variable after the start label because someone on here told me that it is better to put all variables right after the start label...apparently this has something to do with saving.

Hope that helps.
