Hi.

This trigger is actually quite simple. It goes like this: Make a variable type String, lets name for excample Player1_Name. Then do this trigger:

Player - Player1 types chat message containing -name as A Substring.
Conditions
--------
Actions
Set variable Player1_Name = (Substring((Entered chat string),7,20))
Player - Set name of Player1 (red) to Player1_Name


And thats it, you are set to go. If u are wondering about the numbers in the substring, the number 7 tells the trigger that it takes the letters from seventh letter on, up to the twentieth letter, so with this setting u can have a name with maximum of 13 letters. If u want players to have a longer name just adjust the number 20 to any number u wish, making it 30 would mean u can have a name with 23 letters and so on. Just dont touch the number 7.

You don't need this variable. Couldn't you do:

Player - Set name of Player 1 (Red) to Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string)))

I write what i remember but I think it will work fine.
