i recently followed griffpatch's tutorial, for now i'm working on a test but i'm not sure how i would make the players say their own username, can anyone help?

redirect me to another post with the same question and solution if possible, thanks!

Hi,

The answer will probably depend on how you set up your project! Please share the link

You can encode their username and store in in the cloud variable. I have a guide on encoding here:
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1080268870/editor/

edit: you don't need to credit me for the encoding if you use it, it's really common and i haven't invented it

You can take a person's encode-decode system as long as you give them credit.. I'm thinking of making my own encode-decode system. I will first use it in one of my games.

when the guide says to remove the “ s ”, do I set it to an empty value or 0?

edit : by the way thanks a ton, this really helps

what I meant was making the other players you see in a multiplayer game say their own name

I think when you make a clone (the cloud player) then encode the username, then decode the username, then set the decoded name to a for this sprite only variable, then make the clone say that one.
As shown below

when green flag clicked

Decode username

set [username v] to (decoded username)

create clone of [cloud code sprite v]

when I start as a clone

set [clone username (this sprite only)v] to (username)

forever
say (clone username this sprite only)
end
