+kennythekiwi Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi, you would need the player to input their name, probably at the beginning of the game and save that name as a variable then you can insert that variable into the message. Cheers Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 You'll need to mention which builder you're using for someone to help in your situation. Quote Link to comment
+C64 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I wonder the same. I want to start the Wherigo with a greeting to who is playing "Greetings (username)!", without them needing to put their nick in them self. Or even when they answer correct on a question: "That's correct (username)!". If I understand correctly, when uploading the cartridge to Wherigo.com the specific user is encoded in the cartridge so how do I use that to show their name during the duration of the game? I use Earwigo. Quote Link to comment

razalas Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi He_Lu, In Urwigo you can use the Payer.Name as you can see in the screen shot, this will show the name of the player that downloaded the cartridge from the Wherigo.com website. i see i will have to visit Vila Do Conde sometime soon Quote Link to comment

razalas Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 ... Hi razalas, I've done it the same way like you (with ~~Player.Name~~) but when I played the cartridge on WhereYouGo I just saw "Earwigo". (I used earwigo to build the cartridge and have'nt published it yet.) Will there be the players name or a different value? Thanks for your help Hi Ernie444, The player.name shows the name of the user that downloaded the Cartridge from the Wherigo.com site, if the cartrige that you played on WhereYouGo was not downloaded from the site but taken from the builder it will show the default name placed by the builder. I use the Urwigo builder and the default name is "Mr. Smith". Quote Link to comment
