How do you set the text, so that it will mention the character name? (i.e. Thanks for stopping by, <Character Name&gt

How do you change the text color?

Hi...
for the name I can assist.

Hi $target, you will never get me alive!

Doesn't $target give the name of the target YOU'RE looking at? I believe it's $name.

To change text color (if possible) highlight the text you want to change with the mouse, and then right click the mouse to pull up a menu with various commands. If the menu doesn't appear, you can't format that text (dialogue, etc).


Dec out.

[u]Color and Size[u]

Can also be accessed through the right-click menu on most text fields.

The general syntax is:

<color #000000>This text will be black</color>


where "#000000" is a html/hex code representation of a 24 bit colour.


You also have access to some other formatting tags through the menu, such as

italics (<i&gt
bold (<b&gt
and text size (<scale X> where X is between 0.8 and 1.2).



[u]Substitutions[u]

$name or $target - the name of the target of your villain/npc/whatever.

$supergroup - that person's supergroup, if none, returns "No Supergroup"

$class or $archetype - their Archetype

$level - their Level

$origin - their Origin

$heshe or $Heshe - substitutes "he" or "she" depending on gender (capitalized will cap the substitution)

$himher $Himher - same as above, using "him" or "her"

$hisher $Hisher - same as above, using "his" or "her"

$sirmam $Sirmam - same as above, using "sir" or "mam"
