i wanna change the command prompt
i already got this done :

When play begins:
now the command prompt is "[bold type][player][roman type] > ";

but now everytime there is only “yourself” writtten but not the name of the Charakter. How can i get this fixed?

Maybe I’m missing something, but wouldn’t

When play begins: now the command prompt is "[bold type]Character's name[roman type] > ";

work? (i.e just putting the name of the Character directly?)

Of course, if you’re planning on changing the player character during the course of the game, you might need to do something like

[code]When play begins:
now the command prompt is "[bold type][player name][roman type] > ";

To say player name:
if the player is Gargantua:
say “Gargantua”;
if the player is Mr Potato-Head:
say “Mr Potato-Head”;
etc…

[/code]

I hope this helps.

This is an easier way.

When play begins: 
    now the command prompt is "[bold type][printed name of the player][roman type] > ";
