UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Game}}
Sends a paid character rename request to the server.

<pre>
RMTPaidNameChange(newName)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;newName : <code>wstring</code> – The requested new name.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* The request contains the character slot stored by the client, the current name of the character in that slot, and <code>newName</code>. The client does not check the name; the server accepts or rejects it.
* It is used by the paid name change window in <code>interfacecore/source/pncwindow.lua</code>.
* <code>newName</code> must be a wide string. A plain Lua string is rejected.
* The function needs at least one argument and only reads the last one.

== Errors ==
None besides the generic ''Invalid Parameters'' message when the argument is missing or not a wide string.

== Example ==
From <code>interfacecore/source/pncwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
function PNCWindow.SendCharacterNameRequest()
-- Exit early if the name is empty
if( PNCWindowCharacterName.Text == "" )
then
return;
end

WindowSetShowing("PNCWindowCharacterNameMessages", false)
RMTPaidNameChange(PNCWindowCharacterName.Text)

PNCWindow.ToggleButtons(false)
end
</pre>
