I have a verb called set_title and it changes the usr's name t an input of theirs plus hteir name. I dont know if i am making sense, but here is the code:
mob
var
title
mob/verb/set_category()
usr.title=""
usr.title=input("Your Title.","Title")
usr.name="[usr.name] [usr.title]"

It changes their name, but when you change the title to something else it says: title title name. I think its because the name is set to that and it keeps adding the title to the name.
PLEASE HELP,

Yep, you're exactly right. The way I get around this is to make a new mob variable called realname. Then just be sure to initialize it in mob/Login():

mob
var
realname

Login()
// your stuff
src.realname = src.name
. = ..()

Then use realname in place of name in your verb.

Thanks I was thinking about that, but i thought that it would set the realname to the name with the tite will it?

Whenever you change their title, set their name to the following:

[title] [realname]

and it should work fine.

No it changes the name to just the title. I think its because the realname= the name and the name is changed to the title and realname, but the realname equals the title so it is just the title

What I mean is if you set realname only once when they first log in, you will never experience any problems, except possibly with saving, but that's not my area.

src.name = "[title] [realname]"

will always produce the result "Sir Alayus Proudmoon" if my name was "Alayus Proudmoon" when I logged in and my title was "Sir".

Um, no. That same thing would have held true as of version 201.
