Random Character Name Help (script provided)

[Gigaloth]

Hey all, pretty simple help request here...I'm using a random character name generator from this thread (script also pasted below) which lets me have the actors' names randomly generated from a list of names via the notes box on the actor.


Basically, I want to know how I can re-roll the characters names IN-GAME through an event (or common event) using this script. I have sort of a "random party" mechanic so I need to be able to re-roll the names without "resetting" the game.


Should be pretty easy, but I'm stumped as a JS noob. Thank you for any help!

 This plugin does not provide plugin commands.
 Free for use with commercial projects, though I'd appreciate being
 contacted if you do use it in any games, just to know.
 Notebox tags:
 <name_list:list>
 Defines an actor or enemy as using the named list of random names, 
 for easy definition of commonly-used name lists. The lists 'list1',
 'list2' and 'list3' are set up as parameters by default.
 <random_names:name,othername,anothername,etcetera>
 Defines a list of names for an actor or enemy to randomly be 
 initialised with, in the notebox. Uses the separator set in 
 plugin parameters.
