So, i'm trying to make a cutscene were the player can change the name of an actor in a cutscene. I want to make it so the charecter goes "My name isnt [insert old name here] anymore, its..." Then a name input pops up, and then they yell the new name. Anyway to do that?

It should be doable to store the actor's name in a variable before you change it, and then call it in the message. $game_actors[n].name should work (from my quick test at least), just change 'n' to whatever the actor's ID is. I set an event up like this, and it worked:

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
