Name boxes Options

[pudding]

So this is an embarrassing question, but I just cannot figure out how to have a box above text where it says which character is speaking.
Example:
---------------
Bob
---------------
Hi everyone.
---------------
This is probably a simple fix so if anyone could tell me how to do this I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Well if you put this \n[x] it will show that actors name current ID where x = the actors number in the database. To put it in a box i believe needs a script. This method can be used any where vx and ace that uses text even when making descriptions in the actor's bio in the database.

Yanfly's ace message system should support name boxes.

@mooshra thanks for the tip!

@Tsukihime so I went and downloaded the ace message system, and you were indeed correct it does support name boxes. The problem is that I can't get them to work. It says \n will create a namebox if plugged into the text but it doesn't. Is there more I should be putting in the string? Perhaps the actor name? I tried \n[1] but then I realized, as mooshra said, that doing this just gives the actors name. Do you happen to know why this isn't working and how it can be done? Thank you very much.

It's in the instructions.

CODE

\n<Name>

You can use escaped characters anywhere

CODE

\n<\n[1]>

Heh, I feel like quite the fool. I did that, checked the preview, saw that it didn't work and forgot to, well, test it! Ah... embarrassing. Anyway, thank you for your help!
