Modding Help - Text Input Box

[artificialsloth]

I'm trying to make a message box that will ask the player to type something and then save what the player types to a variable in a script, but I am yet to even come close to figuring out how I could do this.

Thanks that's exactly what I needed. You wouldn't happen to know how I could use what the player types as the name of an actor would you?

Word of caution if your intending on renaming followers:

eg: User offered an input box and you use the user input to rename an actor...

 

If the Actor is in a quest alias that is flagged as stores text then you will more then likely break that actors dialogue/talk option.

In other words when you target the renamed actor they will not have the talk option.

 

My advice would be if your intending on using this to rename a follower or a soon to be follower, then don't do it!
