Username

Method

Username displays a player's username on a text element.

Overview

The Username Method takes a UserId, fetches the player's username, and applies it to the instance's Text property. You can optionally format the text around the name.

Setup

  1. Add the UiUtils tag on your text element
  2. Add Attribute Method = Username
  3. Add Attribute UserId with one of the accepted values

Attributes

Attribute Type Required Default Description
UserId Number / String Yes — The player to display. Accepts a raw UserId, LocalPlayer, or Random
FormatedText String No — A format string where %s is replaced by the username. For example, Welcome, %s! becomes Welcome, PlayerName!

Examples

Show the local player's name:

  • Tag: UiUtils
  • Method = Username
  • UserId = LocalPlayer

Show a welcome message:

  • Tag: UiUtils
  • Method = Username
  • UserId = LocalPlayer
  • FormatedText = Welcome, %s!

Show a specific player's name:

  • Tag: UiUtils
  • Method = Username
  • UserId = 12345678

Notes

  • The instance must have a Text property (TextLabel, TextButton, TextBox)
  • If UserId is missing: You have not set the UserId attribute.
