Name Request

[AbyssalLord]

Ok, my game works on a system that determines the face of the player by the actor's ID (thanks to Brewmeister's edit of Slipknot's message script.  Now, since I'm not using the first actor in the database, I can no longer use \n[1] to display the name.  So, I need a universal code (like Brewmeister made for the faces).  The system would check the player's actor ID, and choose the name of that particular actor based on that.  Basically, what I want is to replace \n[insert number here] to something like \n[0] (which would be said universal code).  Thanks in advance for the help! :thumb:

Just to clarify, you want to replace \n[insert actor number from database here]
with \n[insert actor's position in the party here] ???

 

[AbyssalLord]

Basically, yes.  I would like it to insert the name of the actor in the party, not the database.  So, \n[1] would display your first actor's (in the party) name.  Sorry for not being clear, and thanks!

<chuckle>  I was editing the \[Nn] part of the code, when I looked down & saw...

    @text.gsub!(/\\[Nn][Pp]\[([\d+])\]/) do
      $game_party.actors[$1.to_i] ? $game_party.actors[$1.to_i].name : ''
    end

Try using \np[1]

Be Well
