OOH! OOH! I can answer this one!

*runs off to RPGM2 to get answer, since it's conveniently in the PS2 right now*

EDIT: Okay

1 - When creating a script, go to Input Creation > Text.
Choose how many letters the player can input (up to 15; the game will only display up to 8 letters in a party member's name in the status box at the bottom-right corner and in battle), and choose whether there is default text or not (i.e. if you want the player's name to be Hero by default).

This will enable the player to put in a name. But there's a few more steps in order for it to get used.

2 - Now go to Data > Input.
Start by choosing an available Input slot (preferably 26 or above).
Set it = to Input 003: Input.

This will store it in the available Input slot for use any time you need it.

3 - If you want the name to be that of a party member...
Go to Members > Basic Info > Name
Choose which member whose name you want to change.
Choose the available Input you stored the name in earlier (the one that's in 26 or above).

This will change the party member's name to whatever the player put in. Next, we'll need to occasionally display the name in text.

4 - When creating the message with the name in it, uncheck "close window" if you have any text preceding the name (eg, "Hello, [name here].")
Go to Screen Display > Content > Input
Choose the input that the name is stored in.


You're done! So, for example, the end result would be this:

A screen pops up for the player to input his name.
It stores the name in an input.
It changes the party member's name to that input.
The game displays "Hello,
The game displays the contents of that input
The game displays ."

It's a bit tedious displaying the name like that, but it's the only way. And unforutnately, you can only display the name in message box. You can't do it in a Text Box, Screen text, or VFX text.[/b]

well you can turn a flag on or set a variable at a certain number. Lets say after you entered your name you use flag091 on then set the flag on in the event area.
