oh um… I didn't see this when I posted my error.

Anyway. My cloud variables in a game I'm making keep resetting to 0 after a few seconds. When I change it it just goes back. I tried using

set [ v] to []
change [ v] by (0)

These blocks.

I have a question. Can somebody go inside the project and then just hack it? Thanks

Are you using Internet Explorer, or Edge? If so, those browsers don't work correctly with cloud variables, so switch browser.

OTOH, if you're not using IE or Edge, the problem may be that the cloud ‘token’ that authorises the project to make cloud changes has timed out because the project has not changed a cloud variable for some time (maybe you've been editing it, or you've put the laptop to sleep for a while, etc.)

If that's the case then reloading the project should renew your token and allow the project to send changes to cloud.

Also, in case this applies… only ONE instance of a project, from a given user, is authorised to change cloudvars. That means if you open the project in two (or more) tabs/browsers/computers as the same user, only the latest is authorised to change cloudvars.

Only the project creator is authorised to send cloud variable changes to cloud while in editing mode.
(The change will still happen locally, though – but with cloud currently always in fallback polling mode, the value will revert back to the value in the cloud within a second or two.)

The Cloud is in fallback mode so there is likely going to be glitches.

Hey

PhantomForcesX

I named a cloud variable ☁ Message and was going to change it. So I did, and now I have access to an unlimited supply of cloud variables. How? When I renamed the cloud variable, it just made a new cloud variable, and could exceed the 10 limit, as I soon found out. They all work, too. To top it off, I wasn't even using the ☁ Message in any scripts on any of my sprites.

Your project is now in a really awkward state, since it has a number of *fake* cloud variables that will just keep on reappearing when you try to delete them. In particular, they are no longer true cloud variables, but just normal global variables which happen to start with the cloud character – so there is no point having them.

Here's a post I made which explains, step by step, how you can restore sanity to your project:
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/2385303/

It's long and tedious, but your project's cloud variables are pretty much ruined until you follow the above steps.

When i got on today, there were almost no sprites in my project.
I either got hacked or its a bug.

if this is happening to you, please tell me so i can get my sprites back- will it be fixed?

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/119836517/ - Some of the important frames of my animation i have been working on have just disapeared. The sprites are still there, but my drawings just vanished! im devastated, im afraid to edit anything else in case the same thing happens. it already occurred in two other projects but not as badly as this. Please help =C

akane_tanaban

A number of my students reported having sprites and code disappear on them. This was from noon to 1:30 today. They are currently in the middle of a big project, so they were really stressed out. I told everyone to download the project onto their computers and use the off line Scratch Editor. It would be great to hear back about what is causing all these issues. Thanks.

gudnygud

I have the same problem as akane_taban. My students report code and sprites disappearing on them. Does anyone have information on what is going on?

I created a cloud game. There is 2 problem:
1. If I click too fast sometimes the variable don't updated. (Increase by 1, then decrease by 1)
2. this: https://scratch.mit.edu/cloudmonitor/140812973/

Happened with me as well. I don't exactly know what's going on, but it's causing some…problems. For me, (I'm making a livestream project but the variable sync seems to be too slow to create a reliable one. (Get Livecoins, download recent cloudlist, upload new cloudlist)
