I need help
I'm trying to allow the player to name a technique of theirs at the start of the game but I don't know how to do this
please help

You know I'm pretty sure you can't do this without a script, one may already exist.

An alternative is to make 8 or so duplicates of the same skill with 8 preset names and make the player pick one.  That's the only evented solution I know of.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen this request, or a script that addresses it.

I would place a request in the 'Script Requests' (If you want someone to do it for you)
or 'RGSS Support' (if you want someone to HELP you do it).

I may even take a stab at it if I have time later.

Be Well

Hmm... I'm just curious, because I had a different question that MAY be similar (or might be completely wrong).
I haven't checked this, but here's something you could try (involves both scripting and eventing):

Make a new actor and make a characterset of the skill icon (4x longer and wider than the regular icon). Give the hero the characterset, and call it "Skill", or whatever you want (you can leave it blank too). Now when you want the player to name the skill, use "Name Input Processing" for the actor.

After that, you can try this bit of code. I haven't tested it, so it might (prolly) won't work, but here goes anyway.

$game_skills[x].name = $game_actors[y].name

Replace x with the ID of the skill, and y with the ID of the actor. Hopefully, if Enterbrain was nice enough to create all these shortcuts for us in Ruby, it'll work. :thumb:

Hey, that's pretty clever!
