Ccoa's UMS problem

[Roxas_4 0]

Hi there. I am using Ccoa's UMS in my project.

I want to put a name in the text box but the name I want to put is the name someone chooses.(See attached picture)

 

 

 

Here says

Out of message codes (use in a Script event command):

...

$game_system.name = "name" - change the text of the name window to name

Here goes my question: Can I put the chosen name (\N[1]) in the text box by calling the script, so it is something like $game_system.name = "\N[1]"? How could I make this work?

 

 

 

Has someone the same problem? Does anyone how to solve it?

 

Finally I want you to know that I'm Spanish and I could have problems with English. Also,as you see in the second attached picture, I use an Spanish version of RMXP.

Try this:

$game_system.name = $game_actors[1].name

 

Basically, the $game_actors object stores all the actor data, after being initialized (so it would store the new name given to the player)

 

The syntax (for other actor names) would be as follows:

$game_actors[actor_id].name
# actor_id is the ID of the actor in the database
# EX. $game_actors[1], $game_actors[2], etc...

 

Lemme know if that works.

It doesn't work. :( It says that "NoMethodError" happened because of undefined method 'name' for [1]:Array.

I don't know what does that mean because I am not a scripter.

Well, thank you anyway.;)

That is interesting. Can you please post exactly what you put in the call script box?

 

This should work, and it should DEFINITELY not give you a noMethodError.

 

If you got a no method error, either you have the incorrect statement, or you have a script that has modified the $game_actors object greatly.

 

Looking at the error, it almost looks like $game_actors[1] points to an array, when it should point to an instance of the Game_Actor class.

I put exactly what you said, using Copy-paste, but when I try to talk to this event, it gives me the noMethodError. Here are screenshoots. (the second has some words in spanish if you wanna know what they mean just tell me.)

 

 

 

Maybe my version's $game_actors script was modified before distributing it. Could you send me the game_actors script to compare?

 

Well if we can't find a solution I will have to erese the option to choose the name :unsure:

AHA I figured it out (i believe)

 

It is neither of our faults, and only the fault of RPG Makers "call Script" box (the fact that it is so small).

 

try this:

$game_system.name =
$game_actors[1].name

 

Just put the $game_actors[1].name entirely on the second line. Because of the not so great call script box, it is being interpreted as

$game_system.name = $game_actors # Name is set to the entire $game_actors object
[1].name # Creates an array with 1 element, and tries to call the method "name" which doesn't exist for arrays

 

So by separating the statement into 2 lines, it should put $game_actors[1].name into name correctly.

 

Let me know how that goes.

Yeah, that works. That's perfect. Many thanks.:alright: And thanks for the explication in your last post, I think i've learnt some scripting.^_^

 

This is the prove that it works:
