Yes you can.
Alas, I don't know any reasonably efficient ways to make the menu, so I'll tell you the second, now-possible, half of it.
Once you have the name from the menu, to set it is easy:
| Code: |
set hero name(string,hero)
|
"string" is the ID of the string it's in, and "hero" is the ID number of the hero in question.

| ..ok,thanks..now the only thing i need to know is how to get that string you were talking about.i mean,i know how to make it look like a cursor walking around the tiles with letters on it,i want to know how to make it so that when,for example,the player pressed space or enter on the letter "a",that character will be saved,then the next letter will be "d",then that letter will be added to the "a",until i got the name,for example "adrian"... |

Well, I suppose the best way would be:
1. Swap out the heros, and swap in the arrow.
2. Have this script:
| Code: | script, do input letter, letter, myself, begin
variable(lower) #is it uppercase?
lower := npc y (myself), mod, 2 #this assumes that you put the lower case
#letters on odd rows
#this script also assumes that you're putting the name in $1
lower *= 33 # if it's lower case, we add 33. Otherwise we add 0.
addascii(1,lower + letter)
end |
(I will explain in a momment)
3. Make an NPC for each letter (that's 26). The NPC graphics should have the upper and lower case forms in it. Set the script to "do input letter", and the parameter to the Uppercase Ascii code (that's 65 for A, 66 for B, etc.). Oh, and make them "not face you" (whatever the option is, I forget)
4. Finally, lay down your NPCs in rows, with upper case letters in even numbered rows, and lower case letters in odd rows. Make sure you place them so that they face the right way to show the Upper or Lower case letter.
5. In a map on-load script (or similar), put these lines:
| Code: |
clear string (1) #again, assuming it's $1
center string at(1,x,y) #replace X and Y with... where ever
|
6. You should also put an "OK" NPC with a script that goes back to the game, and a "BKSP" NPC that erases the last character (delete char(1, string length(1)))
I may prepare a demo sometime, in case this is confusing.
