Labeling players for multiplayer

Examples & Tutorials

So I don’t have indie so I can’t test this, but assuming this does not work here is another method. (btw huge downside to this new method is there is a 5 letter limit) I am assuming this method is inefficient so adjust whatever you want.

Ignore the 123456789, that was for testing
The number behavior needs to be replaced with a Player Count behavior. Also all the switches need to have bundles attached to them.

Converting the name to a number

Basically what this is doing is that every time a 9 place is used (9, 19, 29, 39, etc) I add “aaa” there, a word that shouldn’t be in anyone’s name. Then I add 9 to the beginning of every number so I know where to separate it. That is then all saved to a Shared behavior (It’s a Global in the image, but that’s because I don’t have Indie)

Converting the Numbers to text

Just listing out the numbers and separating them every time 9 is used. That is then put into a To Number and into the “One” input on a number list.

If you notice anything wrong please point it out. (I forgot to add this, but you need to add a way to separate the labels in the player object, that should be very easy to do) :llama:

Can I have the game link? (Sorry for reviving)

Yeah sure, though there are better ways of doing it. I made this after using Flowlab for about 5-6 months, most my examples are probably only decent after a year. Let me try to find it rn

If possible, could you try making it again if you have the time? Sorry for asking.

Same, thanks! (can I have the link still pls?)

Yeah I’ll try to find it. Also I’m assuming this isn’t for multiplayer and is just for messaging text? If you’re looking for Multiplayer nametags I believe Briccentric has an example for that

Here’s the code for it, though I am cringing at it lol. I’ll try to make multplayer nametags tomorrow. I know brick is trying currently to make it better for Misty Hollow, so he’ll likely make it first because he’s worked with Multiplayer more than me

Its too complicated for my peanut sized brain to comprehend.

It’s mostly hard to work with because Flowlab is buggy with Multiplayer, it isn’t actually that hard once you’re used to it.

Okay, thanks! Cya.
