This is a tutorial on how to create a system in which you can name your character and depending on what you name him/her will effect what other people or objects in the game refer to you as. This is a bit similar to some older RPG games in that you can name your character before the game starts. So, I hope you enjoy the tutorial and if you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them below.
