I am building a multiplayer game and need a way to detect when someone is no longer on the project. I have a script set up to detect new players and add them to the list, but no way to detect when they leave. (See inside “Cloud” sprite) PROJECT

I don't know much about cloud variables but I would think that you would want to have some sort of sweeping feature. I mean that after every 20 seconds or so it refreshes the list. Hope that helps…

You can only reliably detect someone leaving the project by having the other instances of the project detect that they've gone - if they lose their connection or close the browser the user disconnecting cannot tell Scratch they're doing so. The usual method is to see whether whatever the disconnecting player is controlling is still changing.

Here's the method I prefer - https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/77775784/

That is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the help
