# Arg

### Signature

```
{arg:[id],[minChar],[minHPos]}
```

### Description

Displays the name of a character, action, item, and more.

The displayed text differs based on the `argXType` header option of a dialog entry.

```
{dialog 0, arg0type=8}
You have cast {arg:0,0,0}.
{/dialog}
```

This dialog could translate to `You have cast Cure.` where as the displayed action is determined by the function that retrieves this text while the arg type defines that the argument is an action.

For a full list of arg types, you can view the following page: [St2e8](/the-insurgents-handbook/text/formats/st2e8.md#arg-type).

### Arguments

#### Identifier

The argument type identifier of the argument (0 -> 15).

#### Minimum Characters

If higher than 0, add `x - y` tabs (`\t`) after this tag where as `x` is the character count of the resolved character, action, etc. name and `y` is the value of this argument (0 -> 15).

#### Minimum Horizontal Position

If higher than 0, add [H Pos Min Cur](/the-insurgents-handbook/text/text-tags/h-pos-min-cur.md)(0) before and [H Pos Min Cur](/the-insurgents-handbook/text/text-tags/h-pos-min-cur.md)(x) after this tag where as x is the value of this argument (0 -> 127).

### Notes

{% hint style="warning" %}
This tag doesn't display the plural form of an object (e.g. item), use the [Item](/the-insurgents-handbook/text/text-tags/item.md) tag for that instead.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
This tag is only usable in a text file with the format **st2e8** (e.g. battle messages).
{% endhint %}
