It is very difficult. And they don´t work right now because the Scratch cloud variable system isn't working too well. I´ll send a link to a guide for you.

https://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Creating_a_Multiplayer_Game Go to online multiplayer section of the guide and follow that.

it will not work right now

Making a multiplayer game wouldn't work correctly because scratch is in fallback mode, which means you're gonna have problems with your multiplayer project.

If you don't care about the thing i said above then click here.

I'm tryna make a multiplayer donkey kong thing.

…which does some Bad Things with cloud, unfortunately, and I wouldn't recommend using the scripts exactly as shown on that page…


If you want to understand more about how to use cloud for multiplayer (including how to fix the scripts on that wiki page), and the limitations of cloud for multiplayer, I'd recommend you read through this post very carefully:

• What Every Scratcher Should Know about Using Cloud Variables

One thing that wiki page fails to describe correctly is exactly how the “cloud check” variable should be set up. It just has a script comment that says “set to 1”.

Unfortunately, that's failing to tell the whole story, since you *also* need to set it to zero (it needs to have *two* values, in two different places – one value in the project that you upload when you save, and another in the cloud).

For more info about setting up “cloud check” correctly, read this post:

• How to Set Up the “cloud check” Variable on the Scratch Wiki Multiplayer Page

Hope that helps!

It still works but you need realy good cloud but fallback makes it about 1 second slower.

The new cloud system has been in place for some time now, replacing the old “fallback” system.

Quite a few of the things I wrote in the link in my post above (titled “What Every Scratcher Should Know…”) are now out of date.

(Though some of them are still a good idea to note – for example, if your project changes cloudvars lots of times per second, you will find that the cloud server disconnects you for a while ‘cos it reckons you’re spamming…)

The second link (“How to set up…”) is still valid, since it gives instructions how to make a cloud variable's value different in the saved project compared to cloud.

I would recommend looking at @MathMathMath's projects. The user has a useful multiplayer tutorial, but I would recommend looking at the user's cloud tutorials first before moving on to the cloud multiplayer tutorial.

yeah, I looked and it said that cloud variables could only support numbers. what confused me was griffpatches multiplayer games. i never understood how they worked, but they do.

By encoding text - eg 01 for A, 02 for B etc

That is how you simulate a cloud list.

Exactly, how do you do online multiplayer games?

please do not necropost like that.

Rude

In order to keep the first few pages of the forum relevant it does make sense to discourage users from posting on old topics or posting things that are gibberish. That may sometimes seem to be rude but is for everyone's benefit.

There is a VERY NICE scratch wiki. I will give you the link.
https://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Creating_a_Multiplayer_Game
In your game please give some credit to the VERY NICE scratch wiki.



I am happy to share this website.


I am trying to find how to do it too!

I hope the scratch wiki helps all of you!

I just looked at it and it looks hard to understand
