Need to know if it is possible to change an item's name...

I need to know how to change an item's name(if it is possible) because I am making a random item generator, but if i can't change the name of the item, it will not work.

Changing item names, changing unit names... It's impossible in-game, as far as I know. There's probably some obscure jass function that nobody's found yet, though.

In-game? No. In WE yes, but I've never heard about anyone doing that in-game.

Not to offend, but why do people think that JASS is black magic? Just because a thing ain't possible in GUI, it don't have to be possible in Jass.

...because Jass makes dreams come true...

as far as im concerned, the only thing you could really do was replace the unit/item with another unit/item with the same stats, just different names

okay thanks, but if any of you find anything with Jass, or anything else, please tell me. Because I'm sure there are other people that would want randomly generated items.

thanks again! :)

You read my mind o_O.
In fact the question has been asked before, but no, there's no current JASS that can change names. Anyway replacing works much better, if you know how to store the information of the unit that is going to be replaced.

Okay, sorry for posting a question some1 else has already posted, but replacing the item isnt going to work for what I want to do. Thanks anyway though everyone!
