Class Naming Problem need Help

[napoles3]

Hey there i have a problem with one of the events i have for project. Well to make it simple i have a event that at the beginning of my game. a guy will ask you what class you would like to be and your name. And i got it so that which ever class and name you pick the guy will say it and so will the your main guy. but the thing is, is that i want for every person in the game to say your name no matter what class you'd picked.

So Plz if there is a way to help me fix this plz let me know if you can.. ohh btw i'm using VX if that helps

Another thing i forgot to say is that when you pick a class like warrior or fighter they start out with different skills and equipment so if that helps thats one of the reasons why i;m haveing problems.

The four classes have the charset if your using vx it on actor 3 the first guy the one with red hair.and each one warrior,fighter,mage,etc have different set ups.


Never mind sorry everyone i got it to work but thank you everyone who helped me
Now that i made that a little clearer for you guys/girls who are tying their best to help me.
Thanks you all in advance.

Instead of typing the character's name in the text box, type \n[1]. And change the number for other characters.

No thats not the problem. this problem occurred after i found out how to do that.

for the classes i have

Warrior=\N[1]
Fighter=\N[2]
Mage=\N[3]
Archer=\N[4]

but now i don't know how to have other people in the game to say either one of there names.
SO if i had an old guy say the name of the warrior i want him to also say the name of the fighter or mage, etc.
do you know what i mean and sorry i don't know how to puy up pics to show you.

Doesn't \N give you the name of the character and not the class?

 

[napoles3]

yes i understand that but after you pick the class it asks you to enter your name.

Are you using different actors for each class? A better function would just be to use the command "Change Actor Class" (assuming that command's still in VX).

Otherwise, you'll have to get a script or use a lengthy conditional branching process.

i.e.

@>Conditional Branch: Actor [Aluxes] Class == Warrior
   @>Show Text: Hey, \N[1].
@>Conditional Branch: Actor [Aluxes] Class == Fighter
   @>Show Text: Hey, \N[2].
..etc.

Good luck with it.

Advanced Text script should cover it

thank you but is this going to make all the NPC's say either of the classes names????

Warrior=\N[1]
Fighter=\N[2]
Mage=\N[3]
Archer=\N[4]
...

Maybe the confusion here is that "\N[1]" is associateive to an actor (Actor 1 specifically), and not a specific class.

It appears that you have 4 actors, one of each class, and when the player chooses you are substituting (remove actor / add actor) a different actor to get the desired class.

What Reg suggested is to keep Actor 1 as the main character/actor, and just change his class when the player chooses a class.  that way, throughout the game his name will always be "\N[1]"

Dig?

OK that might work but i have one sprite for 4 different classes but i have it so that when you pick either class it will start a different conversation.

you know what can anyone tell me how to up load my game here so that you can see what i mean ok

Google, "File Sharing"
Sign up on Box.net, Mediafire, etc...  (pick one)
upload your compressed game
post the link here
