I have a message box Id like to get the actors name from the Alias and put it in the message text or title I have see various <Alias > examples ect but do not seem to get anything. In Fact anything within < > doesnt show up at all including the greater than and less than signs. Regular text I type shows up fine. Can someone tell me what I must set on the quest Alias and what actual symbol text I need to place in the message box ?

Okay, so: I have a situation where I want to change the activation text of stuff. Ideally I would also like to preserve their names in the activation prompt. However I have not found any way to do so via SAL (which is what I'm using, to, for example, replace 'Pickpocket' with 'Steal from'). Does anyone know if such is possible, either through this method or some other?

I already looked at the Text Replacement article on the creation kit wiki, and it leads me to believe that this task is unnecessarily complicated, due to the system only really being suited to putting names of Actors in messages, but I tried it out anyway. However, <Alias=AliasName> tags seem to only use the objectreference's base display name. Is the only means of accomplishing this to create several entire items, say, several unique weapons, one each for every string that I could possibly want? also, related, <Global.Time=GlobalName> didn't seem to work at all. <Global=GlobalName> did, however
