Cʟᴏᴜᴅ ᴠᴀʀɪᴀʙʟᴇs ᴀʀᴇɴ'ᴛ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛɪɴɢ

So I'm making a project which uses cloud variables. For some reason if I open 2 tabs and and run the project on both the cloud variables are different. Any ideas why?

Could you link the project?

Ummm I'd rather not share it but……….fine here

Sorry, we just have no way of knowing what the problem is if you don't link the project. By the way, the link doesn't work.

Here's some potential issues:
Cloud servers down (this is unlikely, because other projects seem to work fine)
The cloud variable is >250 numbers long
No delay in between consecutive cloud variable update blocks (like this)

change [☁ a v] by (0)
wait (0.1) secs // add this between all cloud variable update blocks
change [☁ b v] by (0)

It is probably just an issue with the Scratch cloud servers since 10000+ projects are using the cloud servers.

Wait thanks. I think the problem was that there wasn't a delay in between the changing of the variable. Il try it out

You do need to test using two separate accounts with Scratcher status - different tabs/browsers/devices with the same username are essentially the same as far as the cloud server is concerned.

Ye I'm doing that

You can no longer view unshared projects unless you’re the creator due to api changes, so it’s hard to know exactly what the problem is.

Did that work?

its because the cloud variable is for all sprites instead change it to for this sprite only.
I think

You can’t, cloud vars are always all sprites.

Xd Im talking about cloud variables

No

Scratch doesn't update cloud variables if it has a space ( ), underscore (_), or any other letter or symbol.
It also doesn't update if you have more than 1 period/decimal (.) or dash/negative symbol/minus (-). However, you can use 1 or none.




By the way if you need more cloud variables than just a limit of 10, use one of the cloud variables in a sprite, then go to backdrops, delete the one you used and make a new one. Since they are for all sprites, it doesn't delete any variables that have been used in another sprite.

If it doesn't work, go to a random sprite and it should show up without deleting the other one.

Ye if doesn't include any of those things but that cloud variable trick tysm. It works

Make sure there are only numbers or it won’t update for anyone else

The cloud variables randomly begin working then they stop and it's really weird

If you don’t want to share it then can you show the problematic code with [scratchblocks]?
