Naming issue.

[AnniexoHoshi]

If this has already been asked, sorry.

Anyway, the game I'm making at the moment will allow you toe name each character that joins the party. However, I have com across an issue where anyone who isn't the starting character is renamed back to the default name. I know I'm using the right type of \N[2] but as soon as said character enters the party, the name is the default.

Anyone know who to fix this?

Thank you.

If you are using initialize (in the add actor command) when you add them to the party, it will reset all your names. Make sure to either not use initialize, or let the player name them after initializing them.

Thank you, I've turned off initializing.

you should rename them after initializing - that is easily done if you add an actor, but depends on exactly how you handle that mechanic.

That is because it is better on first use to initialize that data, otherwise there is a (small) risk of getting random data into the actors.
