Saving a players Custom name

[Hblade]

Hey I'm making a name-input function, the kind like in pokemon, would it be possible to save the players name? If you cant do this normally then maybe by arrays? For example, NameInput[0] = a, Nameinput[1] = A, stuff like that.

I just need a way to save and load the players name

You would just use the saveVars and loadVars, like this. The text actor allows you to edit it, though you won't have this when you are normally displaying the name. Click the pacman to save the name.

I'm not sure what you mean but I'll download the demo later on

What I ment was, say you named a character, okay? (in the game of course), clicked save, and how would you save the name and load the text all in the same saved file as the game's saved files, for example...

You start a new game, input the players name, play for a bit, save, select slot 1, (Which makes a file called Save1.sav). But in that same file that stores the players Stats... Any idea?

It would be the same thing as in the demo. Assuming you are saving everything using gameEditor made variables, then it is just a string variable. The string variable is a char array size 255.. Since it is one of the gui created variables it should work like any saveVars loadVars variable. Then whenever you want to put the text, you would just use the char string. I don't know how you will be displaying the name, but if you understand string functions than that part should be easy.

LOL i got it mixed up... I thought you couldn't save strings AND actor variables but it was only actor variables lol...
