You Can Use It To Address The Viewer By Username Without Them Needing To Ask “What's Your Name?” At The Beginning.

Ah, okay, so that's what I've been doing wrong this whole time….

Think of the block as a variable, one which you cannot change and is always set to the username of the user currently running the project.
If you use it like:

say (username)

the sprite will say the user's username.
You can set an actual variable to the username block. This is useful for OSes or other instances where you need someone's username, like a welcome message:

set [username v] to (username)

If you want to use it in a chatbot, you will have to use the

(join [hello] [world])

block. You can use the following script if you want, it's all yours.

add (join [chatbot: Welcome, ] (username)) to [chatbot v]

You don't have to use only one join block in a script. You can use as many as you want!

add (join [chatbot: Welcome, ] (join (username) [!])) to [chatbot v]

There are endless possibilities of what the (username) block can do. Recently, I made a username detector which displays your username in actual letters, instead of variables.

Please note that the username block is already a variable- I can't think of many situations where transferring it to a different variable would be useful, since the username is at no risk of changing mid-game.

Detect if an user is a guest:

if <(username) = []> then
say [User is a guest!]
else
say [User is not a guest!]
end

Detect if an user is a guest and can use cloud (1 time use):

if <(username) = []> then 
say [User is a guest and can't use cloud!]
else
set [☁ Cloud v] to [1]
if <(☁ Cloud) = [1]> then 
say [User is not a guest and can use cloud!]
else
say [User is not a guest and can't use cloud!]
end
end

It doesn't seem to waste space. I've really wondered about other signatures too.

Anyways, let's go back on topic.
