In my game I want to add a speed run world record timer. How do I make it so that when you get a time that was better than the record it will change the world record variable and have it so that others can view the variable?

when I receive [ Help]
say [Thx for the help]

You'll need to use a Cloud Variable to store a world record that anyone can beat. Set the Cloud Variable to the timer at the end of the game.

If you want to save the username as well, you'll need to look up endcoder/decoder as Cloud Variables only store numbers.

When the game is done, set the world record to the new time if it is faster than the current record.

when I receive [start v]
reset timer

when I receive [finished v]
if <(timer) < (☁ worldrecord)> then
set [☁ worldrecord v] to (timer)
end

But how do I make it so that it updates for the other players?

Seeing as it's a cloud variable it should just update for the other players as long as you're not updating it too quickly

I tried that last one and it doesnt save. how do i get it to save

Share what you have so we can help without guessing.

Cloud variables are the same for all “Scratchers”, as long as you don't change them too quickly.

I'm sure you have to make a cloud to save. Making a cloud takes a long time.

please don’t necropost.
necroposting - posting on old topics and bringing them up to the top again, thereby cluttering the forums

the best way to get help is to create your own new topic.
however you could just use the above scripts provided, just adjust them for what you need. replace references to timer for your own time variable, or maybe for a score variable that you check if greater than the current record

How I get the finished block?
