How to make a multiplayer game?

There should be many tutorials for multiplayer projects out there, on the Scratch Wiki or in the form of projects.
However, keep in mind that making a multiplayer RPG is REALLY, and I mean REALLY, complicated.

How to make a multiplayer game?

Thanks asivi, but the custom blocks; I don't understand how the code works. (As it's a custom block and there's no info about the custom block's script.)
Now I think it would be easy if it was a collab, but don't know who to collab with.

How to make a multiplayer game?

basically you need to compile everything on the screen into a string (text) to put into a cloudvariable, then you have to ‘decode’ the cloudvariable using the find system in a list.

thats basically it tl;dr

This is what I mean by “complicated”. It requires either a step-by-step tutorial or insane knowledge of programming to be able to pull off multiplayer games.

What @Morhaf meant is as you may not know is that Cloud vars. cannot hold anything expect numbers. So those customs (at least some of them) covert text/numbers/symbols to numbers. And strings of numbers back to text again. Depending on the scripts, it could also be a cloud list.

However the cloud server is currently in FallBack mode due to an overload of users consistently spamming the servers by updating cloud vars. 30 times per second. Many new people to multiplayers scripting find nothing wrong with it (Setting a cloud var. to player's coordinates and putting it in a forever loop), however they are affectively spamming. 1 update per 1 second is good enough. So in short fast pace multiplayer games are impossible due to the lag fallback mode offers.
