Well, I have always been scared of text blocks because I don’t seem to understand them… AT ALL. And this is embarrassing for myself to not understand text blocks because so much of my guides and projects have block code in them so please explain the text blocks with string from letter to letter just not the ones that you type text in.
All of the guides do not explain them in a way I understand sooo yeah.
(I was inspired to ask this because NagiSieshero’s topic)
Which blocks in particular do you have trouble with?
I promise I’m not advertising.

Everything in text except quote block and create text with
I can at least tell you Convert Numbers To Text is simple, it basically means 1234 becomes 1,234. Like it becomes properly inputted with commas. Another example is 67676767 becoming 67,676,767.
And the getting substring and letter # is basically grabbing a portion of text. Like you’d grab from index (Index is basically the position a text character has in a string, like in “Hi”, H would have an index of 1, because it’s the first “element”. You can consider a string as an element of a bunch of other elements crammed together to make strings)

Yeah but the forums kinda have like an 100% blocks illiteracy rate lol

Um… then try this guide: [📰 Resources] Resources for Block Code
I had no luck there too
ok… so the basics of understanding how to block code in GKC is 92.6741% based on what you’re trying to build. If you’re trying to make the skibidiest randomizer known in the Gimkit universe, use variables and if statements. Also try out scratch.mit and YouTube for tutorials
Oh ok, that makes sense, and what is “in text get substring from letter # to letter #”?
Oh, thats just if you want to write out something using parts of something else (like channel names)
YouTube is honestly better because it is more in detail and in depth and is easy to understand
Also it is way better that way so you don’t feel like you miss something like on scratch and @Toothless is right as well
Summary
So I am going an a needed brack from ideas and I have been working on so many thumbnails it is crazy also I am going to go to bed and in the morning hopefully I will have coffee because that is how my mind works see you tomorrow
think of it like a portion, basically think of it as two blocks of letter # and basically chunking everything between it. If you grabbed between indexes 2 and 9, you’d grab indexes 2,3,4,5,
6,7 8 and 9.
How do you create a string or substring? And what is that?
“create a string” is just your average text block. A substring is using the “Get Substring from # to #” block. The only difference is that the substring grabs a portion of said string.
I think I understand it now so I will try to make something.

That shouldn’t be advertising. @Toothless. By the way @SeamlessMoon if any of these replies helped you please mark a solution.
