Custom Name Question

[Nolund]

Just curious, as I have never made a game where the names were not set.

What I need to know is, when a player inputs a name to change the character, how do I have it so the game recognizes that the name was changed throughout the story. Like, say I want to do a game where a player can choose not only the name, but gender of the main character at the start of the game, do I need to set variables, or is there something I can do via script so the game registers that the name is changed.

Well if you want the game to recognise the characters namechange, you can use;

\n

As for gender, you should use a switch to keep track of it. You can also create extra characters who are named things like "he" or "she" and "him" or "her" depending on what gender you choose to save yourself from having to write extra messages. Then just write \n

Nice idea Crystalgate. I'm gonna use that.

I had that idea as well. There should be a gender switch and what not in both XP and VX.
