Post Changing names of actors
How do you change the names of actors, whenever I change the preset name I get an error message telling me that it cant find the actor.

Lots of things link to one actor, if you only change one you still have something else trying to refer to it.

Well it depends.
Are you trying to make a mod?
Or are you trying to just change a name?

I think there was a new B23 variable that lets you have a diffrent display name vs preset name.

Code:
AddActor = Actor
   CopyOf = <Unit's original name>
   PresetName = <Name you want to call it>
Make sure this is below the actor you want to rename.
Though you should probably add.
Code:
   Buyable = 0
To the bottom of the original actor's code and add
Code:
   Buyable = 1
To the new actor's code, just below PresetName. That should work fine.
