Hi guys.

I am trying to make my game display the player's name that got the top score. So far, I got it to check if the player beat the top score, make their username process through the selected allowed characters, and if so, individually add each character as a new item in a list. The problem is, I can't make it so that their name displays without having to go through numerical conversions.

The high scores stuff is in Stage. You can change the name to your own to test the scripts.

Thanks in advance!

I think I can help…

To make a highscore:

To make a highscore that shows username:
Make a new cloud variable

I really hope this helps!

Cloud variables don't support strings, so that won't work. You have to convert the username into numbers.

thanks that helped alout……

Yes, you will have to convert the username to numbers.
If you need a converter, I have made one that you can use.
Fyromaniac1's script for the highscore is excellent.
If you need more help just ask!

Thanks for the encoding script, grits. Do you also know how to decode it into letters? I may be able to make it but the problem is I don't know how to make the script read two specific digits in the same variable. I tried doing ‘i’ and ‘i + 1’ but it doesn't seem to work..

From numbers to letters? I could make an update in a couple of days if you are willing to wait….

Try converting letters to numbers. like 2-digit numbers like 01=a and 11=k. and have it re-converted. If you need help with it I can make a project demonstrating it. But don't use it for a chat-room or anything.

It's all right, I figured it out.

good luck
