changing names in game

[13th_Blank]

How do I add the trigger that allows a player to change their name in-game like you could once in Parasite?

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a message containing -name as a substring
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set newName = (Entered Chat String)
  • Set newName = Sustring( newName, 7, Lenght(newName) )
  • Player - Set name of (Triggering Player) to newName

That is, whenever a player types the command to change name, it will store the string from the 7th character on ("-name " has 6 chars, so stat from the 7th) and change the name of the player who typed it.

You should add "Substring(entered chatstring, 1, 5) equal to -name" in order to be sure they don't do something crazy

ok. i have the event, but i dont know where you can find the first two actions?
i looked all over the actions but the only closest thing i could find was
Player - Set name of Player 1 (Red) to (entered chat string)
or is that it?

it's the set variable action.

newName is a variable.
