Hello. I'm Thinking of making a multiplayer game. This game will use a lot of cloud variables (140 variables total for 20 players, and more.

). So, how many cloud variables are allowed per project? I don't want to start my project and hit a dead end with cloud variables.

Hi there! This is not the best place to ask a question, please make your own topic rather than asking on other people's topics.

Hello, welcome to Scratch! It would be best to create a new topic to ask your question next time.

To answer your question though, above the blue outline of a rectangle when making a new post, there should be a bunch of icons, just click the one with a blue block and a black down arrow next to it.

Hello everyone. I'm an aspiring animator and I have been noticing projects that use a speech generator, as seen in this project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/160917636/

I would like to know what speech generator they use, so that I can use it in my animations!
Thanks,
@Ponderosa-r12-28

Scratch on!

Yeah, but that's the point of this topic. This topic is to answer commonly asked questions.

Servers can handle username changes- one of the people I follow did a change. But the @ links don’t work with changes

Hi, @asqwde! I just wanted to let you know this: For question 8 (Why can't I invite people to my studio?) I actually have a reason that you didn't list. This actually happened to me. Apparently, you have a certain amount of people you can invite in a certain amount of time. I think an analogy would help me explain!

Imagine you selling tickets to a show (the invites to people). All of a sudden, you run out of tickets (not being able to invite anyone else). You have to WAIT for more tickets to be ordered and delivered (the time you have to wait to invite more people). After they arrive, you can keep selling tickets. (inviting people).

I actually asked the ST about this. I have no idea why this exists, but whatever.
