Hello Hivers,,

Any Pokémon fan knows that Pokémon can have a NickName,,
Now, how can i set nicknames in Warcraft, the Pokémon are heroes,,

I dont need a whole trigger, just: Is it possible to set the Proper name of a Hero?

Thanks!:grin:

-Yixx,,-

P.S. It is for This Map: Pokémon RPG

Nope, it's impossible.

DUH, DUH.
Off corse u can set the name of the hero u want, theres a list of a names and u just put what u want. Theres clearly a variable called TEXT - Hero Proper names
Dont go saying its impossible something that is clearly possible.

He means with TRIGGERS. That's why the thread tag is [Triggers/Jass]. That's why he says he doesn't want a whole TRIGGER. Don't say something's possible when it clearly isn't.

Can you read? The prefix says: [Trigger/Jass],,
By which i mean, i want to do it through triggers!
I dont know what nickname anyone wants for they Pokémon, so i cant set any PRESET nicknames

No, what happened here is thats the probably didnt know ofthis variable. and he had to place it somewhere and he posted it here, otherwise what would be the point of changing hero name by trigger if u can change in editor, none.
 
So yeah, i think the answer is, it's not possible.

BTW: Why do you always use 2 commas? Just curious.

EDIT:

For god's sake, he wants to change it IN-GAME. While the game is running. He just doesn't want a set name, he wants the player to be able to choose a name.

*facepalm*

One of the "points" to change hero proper name by trigger is to set the hero name equal to the player name. And that's not possible.

Again, hindy already said it's obvious he wants to change nicknames dynamically, e.g. by creating a trigger that when a player writes "-nickname aname" then your hero will be named "aname".

So stop it! close the thread, drop it, dont even think about it anymore,,
