Whats a Ping system?

I don't think that would be possible. You can make an FPS system though.

If your wondering on how to ping someone go to a terminal on a computer and put this in the advanced topic forum but unless you mean through scripts then no put you can do FPS (Frames Per Second, frame means picture)

Nothing Is EVER 100%, that is just an assumption.

My “..” and “…” are not spelling mistakes, it means that they are ways of telling someone that I can continue more about it and that the sentence isn't ended the best way. I like putting new indents and lines so I can split up what I am talking about.

I mean on Scratch. I looked at Log's ping thing and I would like to recreate it for my game.

Are you talking about pong? Or an actual ping?

gcenac

when green flag clicked
ask [Say ping] and wait
if <(answer) = [ ping]> then
    
say [Pong] for (3) secs
end

Ping and pong are in no way related. Based on the posts, they are referring to ping.

This is correct. A ping.

could you be more clear? Do you mean measure the time it takes to respond to a request?

Because if so, you could implement something like this:

forever
    
if <[(ping)] = [1 ]> then
    
reset timer
task
say (timer) for (2) secs
set [ping v] to [0 ]
end

end

Ping is, roughly speaking, the time it takes for messages to go from a server to a client. It is difficult to draw an equivalence to common Scratch concepts, but roughly it could be a measure of delay between your cloud variables being updated. An example script might use on of the public variables as a sample and be:

when gf clicked
forever
set [x v] to (global variable)
reset timer
wait until <not <(x) = (global variable)>>
set [ping v] to (timer)

Every time the public variable is changed it is registered as a separate message issued from a ‘server’ (originating from another client in the case of Scratch). This is hopefully indicative of the other variables updating (I haven't done much with Scratch 2.0, so I don't know if this holds true, but I'd guess they're all updated essentially simultaneously).
