Question about GetName()

Zephirius · March 2022

Would someone please explain to me, why the PC's name doesn't appear as floaty text above the object "FASIONABLE_ONE"? The object the script is attached to is a book placeable...
Or am I way off on this one?

void main()
{

    object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
    if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

    object oEyeball = GetObjectByTag("FASHIONABLE_ONE");
    FloatingTextStringOnCreature(GetName(oPC), oEyeball);

}

FloatingTextString is a bit limited in what you'd think you should be able to do with it. See remarks:

Instead use SpeakString(); which can also be used for placeables:https://nwnlexicon.com/index.php?title=SpeakString

void main()
{
    object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
    if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

    object oEyeball = GetObjectByTag("FASHIONABLE_ONE");
    AssignCommand(oEyeball, SpeakString(GetName(oPC)));
}
