Name Detector? (More info in thread)

[DerVVulfman]

So you're looking for a means within Dubealex's AMS R4 to:


1) Change/Show the name of the lead party member within dialog instead of using the \n[ index ] system which selects the name of an actor in the database.

2) Change/show the name of the speaker identified in the name box, preferably by a similar means.

You have already understood the way that $game_party.actors[0] can identify the lead party member... with actors[1], [2] and [3] in tow as the additional members therein, so I won't dwell on that.  Also, you can see how to use the Game_Variable class ($game_variables) to accept the name of an actor.

But now you wish to know how to substitute the name within the name box itself.   The technique is almost the same.  It's a matter of syntax, which you can see in the screenie I attached ... which also includes Kyonides's previously described solution for your first inquiry.

\name [ \v[id] ]



I doubled up and used two sets of $game_variables when only one was needed. I was thinking of setting the 2nd variable to have the reply of 'NO, I'm ****" instead.
