How do you display text on the screen without using a say block?
Well, the title explains most of it, I am trying to get it to display a certain user input, but I don't want to use a say block because It wouldn't look right at all. I can't use different costumes because there is over 1000000 possible combinations, that would take WAY too long.

You can use a variable reporter or a list reporter.
Check out this project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1516358
It uses a list reporter to display text.

How do you display text on the screen without using a say block?
Well, one option is to display the user input as a variable on the screen. Remember that you can change the way a variable is displayed on the screen by right-clicking it on the stage and selecting “large readout.”
The only other practical solution is if you really want to do something very customized (but with a bit of work) - you could try creating a sprite with different letters/numbers for costumes, and then stamping them according to the user input (probably by using the “letter x of string” block). Here is a (somewhat complex) example: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/161167/. Although I would just recommend using a variable display (or the say block).

how do you make one?
In the editor, click on the orange “data” tab, then click “make a variable”. Give it a name and click OK.
In the player window, double-click on the variable reporter that you just made. This will change it to a plain orange square.
Now, when you want to display something just use the block:
set [myvariable v] to [ PUT YOUR MESSAGE HERE ]
You can use these also:
hide variable [myvariable v]
show variable [myvariable v]

Hi,
funny - I had wondered exactly the same thing and thought it would be fun to try to make a new block to display text.
Here's what I achieved Nerdsville
I've added comments to explain how the scripts work.
Cheers,
Martin

I think you mean the signature. Go to the main forum page (Discussion Home) and go to the bottom of the page to find the option to set a signature. how did you make a row of gray _____________'s to make sratchers not quote it and stuff under it?
