Is it possible to change the name of objects on command? Basically, I want a trigger to name the acitvator (a cube) but i cant find the correct input. Im sure i saw something on here mention this ages ago, but i cant find it.

That is a console command that sets the name of the object where the player is looking. What you should be using is 'ent_fire !activator addoutput "targetname namehere"'
You could also use 'classname' instead of targetname as well, however classname really defines what kind of entity it is and there is a possibility it will not work.

He wanted a trigger to change the name of the cube.
Tell the trigger (like chicken already said)
Tell the trigger (like chicken already said)
OnTrigger
!activator
addoutput
targetname name
"Targetname name" into the 4. empty field below addoutput. NEVER use "" in ANY field or your VMF will fail loading and youll have to remove the "" by hand.
