Hi guys so i need help again . i dont knwo how to Display usernames with cloud variables. coukld you pls help?

https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/722680/ is a recent topic covering this. You need to encode and decode since cloud vars only hold digits.

i tryed but how do i then display them, using say blocks? cuz it dont work ;-;

No reason you can't display if you've handled the decoding properly. You probably need to test you encoding and decoding are working properly.

the encoding adn decoding works but it isnt displaying ;-;

look why dont you try it yourself: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/873160908/

Worked as far as I can see. It displayed my username and the cloud variable username contained the correct encoded value. So what is the problem you're seeing? How do we recognise the issue?

oh right basicaly it makes everyones name the same

try it again- im online in it right now (:

Well if you only use one cloud variable for the username everyone will see the same value! Were you expecting otherwise? You need to use separate variables with the best option probably being to combine the username with other data so you can use a single cloud variable for multiple values.
