what data, exactly? and where would they get the information that it is collecting?

Does it only report if the user is online?
That's doesn't make sense, the only way to view the project and have cloud data even work is to be online.

When does it return false?

pretty good workaround:

<(username) = []>

this detects if there is no username for the current player.
if somebody is signed off it will return false. when they are in the offline editor, they are signed off.

Sadly, this does not work on the online editor, as I have just tested.

set [☁ test v] to [1]
if <(☁ test) = [0]> then
say [Could not access cloud data.]
stop [this script v]
end

The only scenario where that wouldn't work is with New Scratchers, in which case this would suffice:

set [☁ test v] to [1]
if <(☁ test) = [0]> then
say [Could not access cloud data.]
stop [this script v]
end

But one reporter indicating this would be very helpful.

Also, if you want to check internet connection, try using translate extension. make sure to input random things otherwise you'll get cached value.

works like a charm. this is in the offline editor.

Edit: I made a typo in the post. it returns true when it is offline

set[☁ cloud works v]to[0]//after you make a change, click this, then save,
when [u v] key pressed//then press 'u' (can be replaced with any other key)
if <(username)=[space_elephant]>::control//your username
    set[☁ cloud works v]to[1]
end

The project is saved with ☁\ cloud\ works=0, but when scratch first syncs the cloud variables, then it is set to 1. I support, because having to do this every time you save the project is not optimal.


Please use scratchblocks correctly.
