I should know how to do this and it probably isn't very hard but I'm in a hurry to get it done. All I want to do is assign characters a short name(the first 4 letters in their name) that I can use for certain displays in the game.
Use <code>copytext()</code> to trim the text.

var/short_name = copytext(name, 1, 4)
