Hey,
I Took a Tuturial, That Said if I Gave the AI a
Key of "script_friendname"
and a Value of "Pvt.Nickles"

Then His Name in the Game would be "Sgt. Nickles".
But It did not Work. Can some one help me name my AI?

- And if you don't know what I mean...
In Single Player if you move your crosshair over and Allied Player, it says His Name (e.g Cpl.Sloth) and then what Type of Soldire he is. So it would be like..

Clp.Sloth
Rifleman

HOW DO I DO THIS?!

In script you easily do entity.Name = "Pvt. Nickles";

ok... where?

gimme a Full Example.

Key: script_friendname
Value: Pvt. Nickles

?

Give your AI a KVP in Radiant
"targetname" "nickles"

And in your level GSC,

main()
{
maps/_load::main();

getEnt( "targetname", "nickles" ) thread setup_nick();
}

setup_nick()
{
self.Name = "Pvt. Nickles";
}

alright! that worked. but I have Multiple People to name. how do I do that?

Simple lol. Like so:

main()
{
	maps\_load::main();

	thread ai_setup();
}

ai_setup()
{
	// guys to get -- replace "guy" with your guy's targetname
	guy1 = getent("nickles","targetname");
	guy2 = getent("guy2","targetname");
	guy3 = getent("guy3","targetname");

	// heres where they get named
	guy1.name = "Pvt. Nickles";
	guy2.name = "Sgt. Smithy";
	guy3.name = "Gen. Anderson";
}

Just copy and paste "guy3" and rename it to whatever, so you could have:

guy4 = getent("guy4","targetname");
guy5 = getent("guy5","targetname");

guy4.name = "Gen. Pickles";
guy5.name = "Sgt. No name";

Simple, right? Lol. Hope this helps!
