Triggering Hero Name Change

[orcfan32]

I need a trigger for my upcoming campaign. This trigger is supposed to change the hero's name. I think that it will have to use substrings. The trigger is:

PickName
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -Name as A substring
Conditions
Actions

That's all the further I got.

I'm sorry, there's no way to change a hero's proper name via triggers.

If you're working from a small list of names, you could try re-creating the hero and testing its name until you get the one you want. Otherwise, you're out of luck.

I think I heard once it was possible with Jass. Or is that not true? I wouldn't really know either way.

Not true. There are some things that you can do with Jass that have never been enabled in GUI, but it's not magic-land language.
