Hi Funky,
Just a quick question.
On my server, I have been roleplaying alot with my players, creating npcs, possessing and such.
On of the nifty things for making a good roleplay, is the ability to name the npcs on the fly. Eg !Setname Thomas the Baker
I checked, and it is possible via "SetName()" function. Currently, Simtools is setup so it is restricted to Setting the Name of Items.
Is there a reason for this. Is SetName in SIMTOOls a player command?
Do you know what area of the code I would need to alter to make it a dm command that is capable of renaming npcs, or perhaps you might want to consider adding this functionality in future releases?
Also discovered a nifty way of naming npcs randomly is to add into the onSpawn event script for them.
Originally I didnt think it would work, because nwnlexicon says in the RandomName() Function that there is currently no way to set names via script.... Obviously its bit dated. Lol

string sName = RandomName(NAME_FIRST_HUMAN_MALE);
// Add a last name.
sName = sName + " " + RandomName(NAME_LAST_HUMAN);
SetName(OBJECT_SELF,sName);Originally I didnt think it would work, because nwnlexicon says in the RandomName() Function that there is currently no way to set names via script.... Obviously its bit dated. Lol
