Is there a way to save a characters name to a Variable?

[Firestalker5]

Just like the title suggests.... I want to change the name of the hero, but store the original name in a variable so that I can recall it later.

I have the player pick his/her own name, but I want to change the name in my game and save the custom name for future use.

Is that possible?

$game_variables[XXX] = $game_actors[YYY].name

Where 'XXX' is the variable you want to save the name to. And 'YYY' is the id of the actors you want to save the name of before changing. I think that should work. Then with the name safely saved you can change it to something else. Make sure you don't overwrite it with something else.

Good luck with it FireStalker5! :thumb:

Dang your khmp making my life easier by resolving topics before I get home from work. Your putting me out of work...


So this post is 100% spam, make sure you don't have a number like 001, 016 073, etc. No 0s in the front, as Ruby uses this and converts the number's base format.

Sorry, during labs I can get access to the forum. Don't worry though there are plenty other problems I can't solve here if it makes you feel any better.
