Name substitution/player switching [Rule for printing the name of...]

i have a character sheet for my player which shows my stats.
Jammy is a man in the room. The player is Jammy. my question is what can i add so that i can display Jammy as name on character’s sheet as i have more than one playable character each with there own stats. this would help player keep track as they switch

Hi,

You would need to add:

Rule for printing the name of Jammy: say "Jammy".

Then wherever you refer to [player] in a say statement, it will print Jammy.

See also the example Terror of the Sierra Madre in the docs at 8.9. Moving the player (ganelson.github.io)

Maybe the use of “the printed name of the player” is enough for all characters ?

Lab is a room.

The garden is west of Lab.
The white box is an openable closed container in Lab.

Jammy is a man in Lab
Susan is a woman in Lab.

When play begins:
	now the player is Jammy;
	
After opening the white box:
	now the player is Susan;
	continue the action.
	
After going to the garden:
	say "The name of the player is [the printed name of the player]";
	continue the action.

You can see your former self, a white box (closed) and Susan here.
