how to make a value show on a cv2 text

[ruby thicket]

in cv1, you can do this thing where you write {R} and it becomes a "0", you can change that 0 to be any number with the red pin on the top of the cv1 text, I want to be able to do this with cv2 but with a players name put in that spot, how would I do this??

I can already get the players name btw

string format

if youre intending to mix player name and static text

otherwise just use text set text without string format

[ruby thicket]

I see the string format chip

[unkempt wedge]

It's just the input of the text text then run set text or just configure the chip to set the text

[thorny bay]

with String Format, instead of doing something like {r}, {g} and {b}, you are using values {0} through {63}, meaning you have 64 different inputs

{0} gets replaced with whatever string is in the first "Value" input on the String Format
{1} gets replaced with whatever string is in the second "Value" input on the String Format

Configure the String Format to add or remove inputs

thank you

btw

To get a players display name, use To String
To get a players account name, use Get Player Account Name

[ruby thicket]

I am getting the player from them pressing a button and yes I know those chips exist but thanks for the help

And, a really important Cv2 thing that might be hard for new Cv1 users to understand

Local player = You, so Get Local Player will always return you

"Local" just means you
Everyone is themselves but no one else
You are yourself but not me
I am myself but not me

Everyone has their own copy of circuits and runs them individually, so something I see on my screen might not be the same on your screen

👍

I'm not a new cv2 user I have used C# for a long time and that's unitys coding language and cv2 is very similar to C#

once again thank you!

Isnt string format in C# like this :
string playername = "mrbanana";
Console.WriteLine($"{playername} hi!");

[ruby thicket]

Yes

Kinda like that

[ruby thicket]

You don’t really need the $ in there you could just do
Console.WriteLine(playername + “ hi”);

[sand tundra]

This is concating string ?

[ruby thicket]

in C#, you don't need a $ just writing the variable without quotes will print the value of that variable

I have never really seen someone use a $ in C# before?

[sand tundra]

Yeah but if you put $ before the quote you will be able to write the variable INSIDE the quote

And dont need the +

Concating :
stringname + "Hi"
Formatting :
$"{stringname} hi"

[ruby thicket]

Oh I never knew that

That’s cool

[sand tundra]

Exactly
