I´m a bit bored and I´d like to script something. Following aztec, DwX and all the others before, I offer you, to post what kind of Script you´d like to have and I will try to realize it and post the working script here.

What I won´t do is pathfinding and menues.

Thanks
Slin

First time ever that I´m an activator of something
hey but what I allways wanted to have is something like if you click on an object a text field opens where you can write something in.
now if thats right a new event happens

string str_PlayerName = "Player";
