How do you add a players name in dialogue?

So, I am a season ticket holder and own the dialogue device. And I am making a cool game, except, I want this scientist to say the player’s name, but I can’t just guess the name. I’ve seen it done in games before, but I kinda need a little tutorial.

That is most likely impossible, because the dialogue does not have blocks

Yes exactly that. For testing just click on “When receiving on channel”. It should bring you to block coding. In the essentials section it should have a block piece called “triggering player’s name”.

That’s just saying what channel will activate the block. You can pick any channel you have. For instance, the game start channel.

Isn’t there a way to insert players name using {name} or is that only with the damager device? If so, there is a way to insert players names into popups and notifications using block code. I’ll see there’s a guide on it.

In the block code, you can have a pop-up that has the header with the “triggering players name”.
