ok in my game there is a actor thing were you can costomize your actor like his name ect. and his name floats above his head and i have a textbox, but i want it so when youtype in the textbox it prints the name above the actors head and it stays there forever.

Well, make the actor create the text actor when its created and make it also the parent of the text.
Then control the text content with a variable.

oh ok so i make the actor with the typing the parent of the actor that displays the players name? cuz it ain't workin

[Troodon]

Lets say your actor name is Jagheera. Make a text actor and set so that it doesn't load when game starts.
Make this: create actor of Jagheera -> create actor textactor
and: create actor of textactor -> change parent -> Jagheera
