What happened?

When we call the :setName() function, the name of the NPC or Creature is not changing. Apparently the problem is related to updating the information for the spectators. A creature:reload() function was created for this purpose, but in my tests I was not successful.

    local npc = Game.createNpc("Dummy Npc", Position(SOME_POSITION))
    if npc then
        npc:setName("Potato")
    end

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

Windows
