How can I allow the player to rename someone before they join their team?

Sometimes you want to allow the player to name a hero before the hero is added to the team.

First, add the hero to the team. It is impossible to do anything with a hero unless you first add them to the party.

If your hero was configured to be re-named when added to the party, the player will be prompted for a name. Also, you can use the rename hero plotscripting command

Next, swap out and lock the hero out. You can do this with text box conditionals, or with the plotscripting commands swap out hero and lock hero

A hero who is swapped out and locked is invisible to the player. You can swap in and unlock the hero later, when you want them to really be added to the party.
