Did you try " control variable - script - $game_actors[1].name ? "

I didnt understand you

Oh, you go to control variable and chose a variable, and as operand you make the script call from above. It should look something like this:

I got no rpg maker XP so i cant really test it. oh and btw, dont use the skript command from my picture since its for MZ and not xp, try using this one:
$game_actors[1].name (but im not sure if this is for xp)

mmmm rmxp doesnt have that to add an script option... and the options don't include the name, i suppose because they are just for numbers...

Oh ok, its over 15 years since i used the xp, asumed it got such options.
Then your only bet is for someone to make you a script or so, even if there was an option with the xp maker, i wouldnt know. sry

What for do you need it anyway, maybe there is another way to achieve the same result???

in summary, I need the game to create a file, and in one of the lines of that file, the encrypted name of the player should be in... I can make everything already, except the part in which i get the name the player inputs and store it in a variable hahaha

Sry i did not get the first part you said, create a file and encrypted name?

But another way to store names (not as variable) would be to make a dummy character and just rename him / her, that way the name you want will be stored as the name of that dummy char.
You can show the name in texts via \N[n] command.

sooo... name = $game_actors[1].name works... I tried it using the same without the "s" and when i tried the "s" i think i used () instead of []

and the thing is that the game creates a file. which is a very complex system of "cheat codes" for the game, and something the game uses to learn about you and your gameplay. 25 or more lines of code that can be changed and the game changes... One of those lines need to be the character name, so when a player starts a new game, if it has the same name as the previous one, it rememebers it was you who played... that's basically the premise

Oh, sounds interesting. ^^
Well, glad it worked in the end.
