Nope.

Nope.

You can, actually.

But there must be some event that must be fired.

• Change Name Trigger
  • Events
    • Some Event
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Set name of Player 1 (Red) to (Proper name of (Triggering unit))

^He wants the unit's name to be changed:

Hello... Can i change the proper name of a hero into a players name...

^He wants the unit's name to be changed:

Ah... Yes. Sorry about that.

If the proper name of a hero, I don't think that's possible.

 

[Wietlol]

Because it isn't...
There is one thing that could make this possible but I am not sure.
The strings in WC3 are saved in "TRIGSTR_000" (as variables seems to me). If you can change that variable and the hero would update his name after that... it might be possible.
But I never used those strings before so I can't say that this actually works.

If we can access strings data in-game, then perhaps it's possible.

otherwise. save experience, items ect ect.
Create a dialogue with as many buttons as you want your hero to be named. create one hero for each button and delete/create/set experience/load and give items ect ect.
But actualy typing a name and give it to your heros ... well not sure about that.

OR: (and if you do that you are a god),

-create one button for each letter and ... have fun with the if/then/else triggers.
-Also you have to create one hero for each potential name (dsfkekdbnf and kjfezrksd included)

 

[Wietlol]

what about my favorite name... ":{{}>?}{?>}{?:">:>{?}{?>":>}{">{":>"?>"?
Would you have that one as well?
If not then I won't play your map.

 

[Molaf]

":{{}>?}{?>}{?:">:>{?}{?>":>}{">{":>"?>"? is my second name ! what a coincidence !

You can use floating text above the unit that will show the player's name.
Only workaround I could think of.
