I am making a chatting project on turbo warp (that wont be shared) for me and my friends at school and I was wondering how do I make a cloud list, all i know is that you need to encode and decode cloud variables

You can try backpacking someone else's cloud list engine, as long as you credit.

Look at a list :


Now look at a variable :


All that you have to do is to find a character that can't be in your data for the script to recognize and separate each element. Then use the join block to place all elements and the separator in a variable.

Cloud list engines decode values from cloud variables. That's the only way to make cloud lists on Scratch. The idea is used in Leaderboards.

The very basics is encoding and decoding.

First, make a list, and add 9 blank items to it. Starting at row 10, add all the characters you would like in your project.

Then, follow this script to be able to encode values into cloud data.


You can name the variables whatever you want of course.

After that, follow this script to decode cloud data.


That's all the very basics.

I needed a cloud list for my game as well, and found this extremely helpful https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23602793/
