Cloud Variables

On my second account* i need long cloud codes, which are realy long. So if they become to long it might not be able to save enough, because there might be a limit, and for 1 frame it is on average 80 characters, so can someone tell whats the limit?

*Im working on a stop motion project with sharing and account saving

You can only havae 256 characters in a cloud variable at a time, and you can only update a cloud variable every 0.1 seconds, or every 3 frames.

Consider using a variable or list compressor, it might compress the information enough that it will work, also, you can use multiple cloud variables, unless you need them for something else. It will just take longer to save the game.
P.S. your still a new scratcher and can't yet use cloud variables just so you know.

Cloud Variables

Cloud variables have a maximum character limit of 256 characters.

You can have a maximum of 10 cloud vars per project.


Any project where the user can create and send data that they make (such as typing a response) is not allowed, per this policy, because people can send inappropriate things easily.


For your project you might want consider save codes instead.
