Nope, you need cloud lists

It would be easier if you linked to a project, such as this: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/104563515/
Also, I noticed you had several lists for Player 1, 2, 3, and 4, but since you have cloud lists, couldn't you:

encode [playerlist v] to [variable v]::custom
replace item (ID) of [everything v] with (variable)
encode [everything v] to [cloud variable v]::custom

Each idividual needs their own list so the client can modify different segments of their list, such as the first item of ID1 would be the name of the person that's currently taking uo id 1 while 2 and 3 could be used to store the player's x and y pos.
Your encoding engine is much more tedious to work with and could be very unreliable, and I don't see a decoding solution making it impossible for the client to receive updates on what's happening in a multiplayer game. If you want ill be happy to help you make your engine a bit easier to work with
