[Trigger] Setting hero names?

[DigitalDemon]

I've been looking around in the GUI to see if there are any triggers to change the name of a hero in-game and i can't seem to find it. If i leave no names in the editor, it becomes "Default String". Is there any way to do this?

I've managed to make it as "Floating Text" but i still get the problem of it saying "Default String"

if you already have the name appearing where you want it to, why not just set the hero name to " " (space)?

Because i don't want it to be called " " since the players still see that when they hover the mouse over the unit. Instead, i want it to be called whatever the owner is called!

You want a permanent text floating above unit, telling what`s the units name?

No

You want a permanent text floating above unit, telling what`s the units name?

I want to make it so you can set that value in-game, so that the Hero is called whatever the owner is called. EG if i was playing and i picked the "Thief" hero, It would have my name when i click on it.

The only way to come close to that is by using Floating Text, as far as I know. The only way to change a heroes name is in the Object Editor, so you'd have to type in every possible username that might ever play that game. If you need help making the floating text follow heroes, PM me.

Its not possible with GUI... Maybe in JASS, but i don`t know, im totally noobish when it comes about JASS

@Up
Man... He told that, he wants hero name to change to player name by triggers, not a floating text above a unit >.>

Gah, i'll just name it Thief/Mage/ETC for now and have floating text until someone finds the answer.

There is no answer.

It is impossible to modify a hero's 'Proper Name' In game. Therefore, the only thing you can use if Floating Text above the hero.
