In my town dialog, the character's names won't show up. Instead it just says "townsman" or "official". Also if this could be at all related, any nodes using codes, like giving rewards or opening shops, doesn't work right. I even started a new town and used the dialog straight from a town in VODT, and the dialog worked, but no names. Suggestions??? -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Have you actually assigned the names to the characters (in the town script, not the town dialog script), or did you just use the name as the question for the first node? Jeff only recommends doing the latter in order to make scripts easier to read; it has no actual effect as far as I know. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners!

I'm not 100% sure if this is the cause, but did you check the "unique NPC" box? -------------------- ~Note : The professional newbie's advice should not be taken seriously, or at all.~ LINKAGE Posts: 364 | Registered: Saturday, January 17 2004 08:00 |

I'm not sure if the name shows up if you haven't put the name in the dialogue script. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

The name in the question field does not matter at all. It's the set_name in the town script that actually sets the name. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

It's just a name. It serves pretty much the same purpose as a real person's name: to make the creature a little more special and recognisable. Keep in mind that the name you set with set_name will appear in dialogue, in combat and when looking at the creature.
