question about name input.

Hello. I just want to ask as if there are possibility to input the 'First Name' and 'Last Name' for player, instead of just one name. Does it require the script or can be done with just events? Thank you.

Would require a script. Fortunately the script would be very simple and easy to do. Could possibly even do it by allowing input for a name, saving it, then adding input for another name, saving it, then combining the two strings and setting that to the name of the actor using a script call.

However, as a designer, I would steer you away from forcing players to have a first and last name on a character. Believe it or not, players do a lot better with single names.

You don't need a script.


But where are you saving the last name? Are you putting last name into the nickname field?


You could do two Change Actor Names on a "dummy" actor (or two). After they're entered, use a Script command to change the real actor's name.


Or just ask them to enter the full name into the single Name field.

@Titanhex Yeah, but wouldn't making full name input making the games slightly fun, just like the 'Persona' game or similar kind.

@Shaz Actually, I think it would better if, say, I want to make 2 name input separately, one for first name, one for last name in the game beginning. So, during gameplay, if the player talk to the NPC, they would call the player, either with first or last name. rather than the NPC may called the player by full name each time they meet, which it's quite unusual.

Edit: One more thing, how about the variables?

You could put them into variables with a script call and then use \V[1] or \V[1] \V[2] in a text box to show just the first name or the first and last name, but that wouldn't appear in the menu anywhere.
