UpdateName (CMS)

Name	Type	By
updateName(tbl)	Definition	AFRLme

This small function allows you to dynamically update the name of any type of object below the mouse cursor, for example: ??? to Rusty Old Tin Can.

Instructions

1. Add the main script to the Visionaire Studio Script Editor & set the script as a definition script.
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 false. This condition will be used to tell the engine when to use the new name.
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 >

local t = {

"Sun",
"Sonne"

}

updateName(t)

end if

---

Quick note: don't forget that you need to insert the default name of the character into the name input box for each language inside of the properties section of the character, otherwise the it won't display anything as the name table for that language will return nil because it doesn't exist.

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
