I'm making a Cloud Game with a Money Variable that saves. And I was wondering is there a way to make it that if the player cheats and changes the Money Variable. The game will not save the Variable, or The game saves the old Value.

Editing other's projects with cloud data disables changes to the cloud data for you, so they shouldn't be able to.

There is still a way to edit cloud data with other programs, which you cannot prevent by code in the project.

But the Money Variable is gonna be saved through a normal Variable not a Cloud Variable.

You said cloud game with a variable that saves.

There still isn't much you can do about it. There is always a way to get free money.
One way I can think of to try preventing it is by a script that detects if the variable changed unexpectedly. In your game, there is another variable which switches to 1 when the money is going to change, and back to 0 when it isn't. Another script detects if the money has changed while the other variable is still 0, meaning it was unexpected. Then the money is reset or the project is stopped.

Thanks I'll try that.

There is no way except using extensions like (removed by moderator - please don't name browser extensions), it has the features to stop the project if the person is in editing mode(but I don't think Scratch supports this either) so what you can do is converting it to .swf then to .exe so that they can't see the scripts. But that will disable the cloud feature anyways…

I think that you should write that if it is within a humanly possible range then OK otherwise don't count it like I did in this game I made https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/235923832/#player ! for example

when backdrop switches to win:
if time<30 then
say cheat
else
if time>highscore:
set highscore to time

Still does not stop people from cheating, it only limits the high score. Also do not bump old posts. (last reply was 2016 why bump)

Please don't necropost. The last post here was 2 years ago.

I know im realy realy late but a simple approach is to do this:
variables, key, cash, old cash

When green flag clicked
{
set (key) to ()
set (old cash) to
wait (5) seconds
//the wait is so that your scripts can change cash to what ever
Forever
{
If ([not[()old cash)]]) then
{
Set (cash) to ()
//you can do what ever you want here but i would do this just incase
}
set (Old cash) to ()
}
}

Considering it's been around 4+ years since this topic was created, no. Like I said above, it's called necroposting, which is a form of spam.
