I was wondering if it is possible to change a character's displayed name (not death variable) by means of a dialogue? I've tried like this.
IF ~~ THEN BEGIN change1
SAY ~What must I do?~
IF ~Name("David","b#char")~ THEN REPLY ~Change your name~ GOTO change2
END
IF ~~ THEN BEGIN change2
SAY ~OK~
IF ~~ THEN DO ~ChangeName("Michael")~ EXIT
END
When I do it like this then I don't even get the option to make the "Change your name" reply. I've looked through NI, and Name and ChangeName are the only trigger and action I could find that seem appropriate.
Can anyone help?
Thanx

Try doing it via a script triggered spell.

Name and ChangeName refer to death variable, not displayed name. CharName trigger refers to displayed name, but I'm not aware of any corresponding action.

Thanx. This solved the problem.Try doing it via a script triggered spell.
Is is possible to also change a character's biography in this way? I looked, but couldn't find a command for it.

A character biography can be changed via script, using SetPlayerSound(O:Object*,I:STRREF*,BIOGRAPHY).

When I try this I get an error upon compilation:A character biography can be changed via script, using SetPlayerSound(O:Object*,I:STRREF*,BIOGRAPHY).
BIOGRAPHY not found in [SNDSLOT.IDS]
I checked through all the ids files, but couldn't find anything for biography.

Never mind, I found the problem.
Seems that the game reads the BIOGRAPHY field as EXISTANCE5.
