It is possible to change the name of the hero in the "proper names" section of the hero, it is just below the very last number you see, which actually indicates how many names the hero "cycles" through.

Also you can make it so that when players type a message the name displayed is that of a particular pre desiganted name. An example would be when purple types the screen says "Tau: Hi guys" instead of "Malufa: Hi guys" if that makes sense.

No, it is not possible to my knowledge to go in and make the variables so that it would have the proper name of the hero that was chosen by the player as their "proper" name in the main text. It might be concievable with heavy JASS enscripting, but I doubt the result would be worth the effort.

I hope this helps clarify things for you, if not please indicate thus.

... I've seen this done actually in a few games I've tried while playing on a friends' computer that can run FT.

I'm not certain if the unit itself was name changed but all references to the player name were changed.

This was done in believe it or not: Star Wars Dogfight.

The game itself was a bit shoddy when played and wasn't actually 3d, only 2d.

basically the game code would say: SilverSong has been shot down! Everytime my dogfighter got killed.

then I was able to do this: name R2D2
Then it would message that R2D2 got shot down.
