[Scripting Question] Default Player Names based on Gender chosen

[Ruutuli]

I've looked high and low and couldnt find a straight answer on this.

If the player choses the girl i want the name to default to Pokitan, and if male, Pokisuke.

I know how to default the name, but not based on gender.

Any help ;o;?

Cute names! I assume your game is taking place in Japan? (I so badly wanna call her Pokitan-chan...)

I found a way to do this that works quite well. find this bit of code inside PSystem_Utilities:

Spoiler:

def pbSuggestTrainerName(gender)
  userName = pbGetUserName()
  userName = userName.gsub(/\s+.*$/,"")
  if userName.length>0 && userName.length<7
    userName[0,1] = userName[0,1].upcase
    return userName
  end
  userName = userName.gsub(/\d+$/,"")
  if userName.length>0 && userName.length<7
    userName[0,1] = userName[0,1].upcase
    return userName
  end
  owner = MiniRegistry.get(MiniRegistry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
     "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion","RegisteredOwner","")
  owner = owner.gsub(/\s+.*$/,"")
  if owner.length>0 && owner.length<7
    owner[0,1] = owner[0,1].upcase
    return owner
  end
  return getRandomNameEx(gender,nil,1,PLAYERNAMELIMIT)
end

All you gotta do is replace it with this instead.

Spoiler:

def pbSuggestTrainerName(gender)
  if gender==0
    return "Pokisuke"
  elsif gender==1
    return "Pokitan"
  end
end

Now instead of defaulting to the name of the computer, it will default to the names described here. Just make sure the player defines their gender before you run pbTrainerName.
