Event Problem - Character Actor Graphic and Name Input

Okay so I'm making this intro sequence and it works fine, it runs through and reads the name that's input in the text box after when the player enters it, and I've made it change the actor graphic and all, but when the scene comes into view, the character graphic hasn't changed at all.
And when the scene finishes and I check the name on the sign the name hasn't changed either!

I've looked around for ages, what am I doing wrong?

Starting script:



Which is here:



And that leads here, the player appears 2 squares right of the priest.



The script after the first is placed on the priest himself and goes as follows:

(Alt. of script 2 so its easier to read) 

And this is how the actor starts:



I just can't figure it out!

Thanks in advance for the help anyone gives me.

(Sorry if Script 2 seems blurry)

First things first, that is an event, not a script - those are two different things in RPG Maker. Events is what you are doing right now, scripts are actually coding in Ruby (which is not something a beginner can do). So try to not mis-name them next time.


Second, your problem is that you're adding your partymember (shouldn't it already be so in the beginning of the game? It's the default), and initializing them. Which means back to square one. Which means back to the original actor graphic and original name.


Just remove that entire line where you're adding the partymember. Your player is already in the party!

Ah, I meant script as in event script. Sorry. 

And thanks! That's what completely confused me. ^^
