Changing hero names

I am making a hero RPG and im wondering if it was possible to change a hero name to a variable or trigger so I can use the player's name for the hero's name. At any rate is it possible? It would add a lot to the RPG if it is.

I don't think that's possible. At least I don't know how.
But you could make a floating text or something to show which player is owning the hero.

i have found that you cant change the hero's name, for the same purpose as you. I went to the next best thing and gave players the option to change their name... its posted in the repository, nothing special or anything.

if your rpg uses save/load codes, it would comepletely obliterate a main safety thingo in them, where it saves the name.

*sigh* yep my rpg has a save code based on their player name (entire thing took me a bloody week to make.... not about to throw it out now), so I guess im doomed to an inaccuracy in player and hero names.

yes, i guess you are... there might be work arounds using jass or floating text or something...


sorry i couldnt be of much service
