that would need a decoder because cloud variables don't hold text only numbers (edit: nvm I read it wrong and I don't understand)

You'll have to encode it to a cloud variable and decode it when you want to show it.

Don't set a cloud variable in a forever loop if that might mean it updating more than once per 0.1 seconds.

To store a username and high score you need to encode the username and store that to the cloud as well. You can easily combine a score and a username in a singel cloud variable.

The wiki page on Global High Scores is a good reference.

As mentioned above, this is done with a cloud variable. I agree, however, that is not a great idea to keep the update of a cloud variable inside forever, unless absolutely necessary. Better is to use a broadcast towards the end of the game and update once. Please take a look at https://youtu.be/YCkXqyIpFp4 and the links from the description to learn more about cloud variables and their usage for high score etc, Take care, cheers!

That won’t work because cloud variables can only hold numbers (unless your username has numbers only)

Wouldn't work as cloud variables can't contain letters or symbols to prevent online chatting and other safety reasons

How can I make a battle Royale game with scrolling maps that can be selected at the start?

You can, it's just going into crazy topics such as encrypting and decrypting.

Or something even more advanced such as shifting.
