Putting variables into one sentence using the "Say/Think" blocks

TheVaultBoy

I am creating something that is kind of like an rpg, and certain characters will call you by your name, which you input at the beginning of the game. In order to do that, I created a variable called “name”. When you input your name, it changes that variable to equal whatever you put in there. Assuming these images work, this is what I have set up.

What I want to do, is when people are talking to you, they can say: “Hello, {Whatever name is set to}, how are you?” Although I cannot seem to get it to do that. Putting the name variable into the text zone doesn't solve the problem, either, because all that does is overwrite what was already there. If anyone can help that would be really good. Thanks.

edit: the images didnt work lol

Does this help?

You could also use the username block instead of the variable

These answers are great but isn't he asking how to change the name variable?

Hopefully it should be obvious enough that you can remove all the username stuff if it's not required. So
