This small function allows you to dynamically update the name of any type of object below the mouse cursor, for example: <span class="inlinecode">???</span> to <span class="inlinecode">Rusty Old Tin Can</span>.

== Instructions ==
1. Add the [[#Main_Script|main script]] to the Visionaire Studio Script Editor & set the script as a definition script.<br/>
2. Create a condition in the conditions tab of the object that you want to dynamically update & call it "name_discovered" & set the default value as <span class="red">false</span>. This condition will be used to tell the engine when to use the new name.<br/>
3. Create a mouse enters action for the object you want to dynamically change the name of & insert these action parts into it.
if condition "name_discovered" is true
execute a script >
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
local t = {

"Sun",
"Sonne"

}

updateName(t)
</syntaxhighlight>
end if

== Main Script ==
<html><button class="copybtn" onclick="CopyToClipboard('main_script')"></button></html>
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua" id="main_script">
function updateName(tbl)

local n = game.CurrentObject.Name.TextLanguages

for i = 1, #n do

n[i].text = tbl[i]

end

game.CurrentObject.Name.TextLanguages = n

end
