Hi,

is there a way to change the Actor's name according to the state of a Number variable?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

Sure. You can use [var=variable] and [lua(code)] tags in actors' Display Names. Let's say you have a variable named "PlayerLevel". You could set the player's Display Name to something like: "Bilbo Baggins the Level [var=PlayerLevel] Thief".

Conversations cache actors' Display Names at the beginning of the conversation. If you change the variable during the conversation and want to immediately update the name in the dialogue UI, use the Lua function in the "Discover Name Example" example package on the Dialogue System Extras page. Otherwise the variable change will apply to the display name in the next conversation.

Great! Thank you very much

Happy to help!
