is there a way to detect if a scratch project was stopped? i need this because i want my story to reset when its stopped. if a person leaves the project without resetting the project then it will think the player is still in the game and assign the next player player2

Hey- It won't.

There is, actually! Use the scripts below. (This will not work if you reset the timer anywhere in your project)

when flag clicked
forever
set [stop detection v] to ((timer) + (0.1))

when [timer v] > (stop detection)
if <(timer) > (stop detection)> then //This if is necessary
…
End

End

I will test it

I also have this ‘shorter version’ of the same script…

when green flag clicked
forever
reset timer
end

After this, to detect if the script has been stopped

when [timer v] > (0.000001)
...

You can look at CommandOS at my profile as an example…

Hope this helps

Thank you both! This helped a lot.

No problem! I’m glad I could help.

You can't expect the user to stop the project to reset the cloud variables. Getting them all to follow instructions is difficult and even then it does not account of things such as loss of internet connection. In a project where I did require it to be stopped to reset it (it was an experiment with making a server), less than half of the users would reliably stop the project. I had to add in a way to remove them if they had been connected for too long.

What you can do is ensure that the players are sending their time or something else that is changing and detectable so that if they are no longer active, assume they have disconnected.
