Using a Variable in a nickname

[Stupidbro]

Long story made short, I'm nearly finished with my game, but I do have something that I'm a bit hung up on. At the end of the game, the player is given a score based on numerous factors (ex: gold, battle count, etc), but afterward, it's impossible to review your score. I do have an effective workaround if this isn't possible, but this method would be preferable; I'd rather set the player's nickname to their score.

Is there any way that a nickname can be set to a variable?

The script call
$gameActors.actor(id)._nickname holds the value. As a test, I changed Harold's nickname to 2222,
and in the status menu (the next time it was opened) his nickname was changed.

So ultimately, for actor 1 to have their nickname set to variable 20, it would be
$gameActors.actor(1)._nickname = $gameVariables.value(20)

EDIT This is, of course assuming you're using MV. This isn't in a maker specific thread (yet)

Sorry, it looks like I might have posted in the wrong forum. Unfortunately, I use RMVXA. Thanks anyway.

If it's VX Ace then try
$game_actors[1].nickname = $game_variables[20]

to replace the code from the MV example.
Of course replace the id in the brackets for both the Actor and the Game Variable to suit your needs.
Just tested it

@Stupidbro did you try the ACE script call that I posted? It worked for me.

 

[Stupidbro]

Yes. Sorry, I took a bit to respond. It works beautifully. Thank you!

Of course, glad I could help, sorry I assumed MV at first. I've gotta stop doing that ><
Let me know if there's anything else, I don't work much with ACE but I don't have a hard time finding script calls for it, I usually know where to look
