I want to get rid of _ and make it be a space How can I do this?

You can't remove that from the code, _ represents a space.(_ should only be used in any names for procs, vars, lists, or verbs.

I don't want it removed from the code just the text that the players see

I was gonna say just put in a little name code, and name it in ""s and you should be able to use space's.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do so I'll run through a few possible ways to answer your vague question.

In a verb: You want to set it so you don't see the _ character in a verb?

mob/verb/Verb_Name(mob/M in world)
   set name="Verb Name"
   //Verb stuff


You want to completely remove the _ character from your chat or character creation, then I suggest looking up the procs Copytext and Findtext.

I really can't help you without a more thorough of an explanation.

proc/replace_underscore(string)
    if(!istext(string)) return string

    var/underscore = findtext(string, "_")
    while(underscore)
        string = copytext(string, 1, underscore) + " " + copytext(string, underscore + 1)
        underscore = findtext(string, "_", underscore + 1)

    return string

Just pass the string to have underscored removed as the arguments.
