Auto-Named Settlers Based on Assignment like provisioners

[omniquad]

I was hoping for a mod that can rename settlers based on their assignments just as with the provisioners, and not with a bat file. Can this be done?

That actually wouldn't be too hard to do, since Skyrim uses Message / MSG records to change the name or display text of a given object, you'd just have to make a new message containing the name, and run:

setActorFullName MSGName

At least, on the second part of their dialogue where you're able to run certain scripts before or after.

Simple for you, mebbe :wink: Without the CK I'm as dumb as Trump when it comes to modding and then just basic stuff. Wanna give it a go?

 

Also, I was thinking about how a settler assigned to supply lines is suddenly called a provisioner. Assigning someone to the armor stand (as an example) should have the same effect, i.e. Settler -> Armorer.

 

The mechanics of it should already be in there, but how to apply it across the different assignments I'm gonna leave to the experts.

Would absolutely love this. Even with the little icon that is now added to hint for their assignment, it would still be a great mod. Just remember not to rename "Named NPC" when they are getting assigned. Otherwise Cait would be "Bartender", now. :P On the other hand, she talks so much, I guess I'll send her off to the island...

If someone is gonna do this, make sure to make it compatible with this:
