Dialog question.

I would like to have the bosses in an arc use the name of the character that is currently running it. The arc is going to be presented as this group gunning for that player in particular, and I would like to be able to personalize it a little.

Is there a command that will cause an NPC to use the name of the character currently running the arc, or am I SOL?

Use $name in the text box. That should make the name of whoever is running (leading?) the arc show up in the dialogue.

Most text boxes have a right-click menu that will pop up, with options like the above.

Nothing simpler. Instead of a name, insert "$name" That will have the game insert the character's name whose arc it is. Ergo, if you want the boss to say:

"I'll get you, [character name], and your little pet too."

You would type:

"I'll get you, $name, and your little pet too."

Clear enough?

Awesome, thanks guys. It was so simple it never even occured to me to try that.
