In the game I'm currently working on, I need the Show Text event to show the name set by the player. How would I make it so it shows the name set by the player? :neutral:
Make an event with Name Input Processing.
Then when you want to show the name of the first actor type this for example: Hello \n[001] how are you doing today?
[001] is the ID of the actor in the database.
If you want to name actor nr 2 do the same but replace [001] by [002].
Just a small comment on viperj's method, there's no need to include the 0's before the number. It isn't a big difference, but it can help with the text spacing, since there's a limit in the text box.
