[Eventing Question] \\PN isn't working?

[xXbrendanhoennXx]

Hi all, when making events as simple as show text, I'm finding that typing "\\PN" doesn't actually display the player's name upon triggering the event. Instead, it displays "\PN". Likewise, I can get it to display the player's name by using 3 slashes, typing "\\\PN", but then it leaves behind one slash when it displays the name, displaying "\Red", assuming Red is the player's name. I'm not sure if this is a V18 thing, but I only recently had this issue and maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but I can't find anything to fix this.

Any help is greatly appreciated:)

Are you using the Multiple Protagonist Script?

In a show text command, you only need one slash e.g. "Here is some text \PN"

oh my goodness that is so embarrassing for me lol but thank you so much!! I'm not sure why I thought you needed two. Thanks for guiding an amateur in the right direction, it means a lot!
