Example of Usage

public class FamilyNameChanger : MonoBehaviour {
    public string newFamilyName;

    void ChangeFamilyName() {
        Family playerFamily = IM.Player.Family;
        if (playerFamily != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(newFamilyName)) {
            playerFamily.SetName(newFamilyName);
            Debug.Log($"The player's family name has been changed to: {newFamilyName}");
        }
    }
}

Description

• In this example, the SetName method is used to update the player's family name to a new value (newFamilyName).
• The script changes the family name and logs the update, demonstrating a simple way to manage family name changes in the game.

Remarks
