   • Background Image: Optional image to use as the nameplate background
     • Background Image Margins: Offset of the background image relative to the nameplate

     • Fill Margins: Offset of the background fill relative to the nameplate

Assigning Styles to Actors

To assign a style to a specific Actor, use the script call:

nAPI.setNameplateStyle(ACTOR_ID, STYLE_ID)

Example:

nAPI.setNameplateStyle(1, "warrior")  // Assigns "warrior" style to Actor 1
nAPI.setNameplateStyle(2, "mage")     // Assigns "mage" style to Actor 2

You can find an example event in the Demo project on the nAPI (script calls) map.
