Bridge Variables (ARCHIVE)

Weird_Legacy

Support! I find it crazy the scratch team still hasn't added this after eight years!!! This would be extremely useful, you could make “Accounts” for your projects, which would be extremely useful for things like OS Wars. Each team creates a new version of their OS every time. Then, you would only need one account for every OS version! Or maybe, in an adventure/rpg project, you could make it so your decisions from the original game effect the sequel! There is a vast number of other reasons this could be useful, but my coding skills are currently trash, so I can't think of any of the many advanced uses for this.

Great idea, love it! Support!

Support! I would think it could only work with your own projects or with some kind of request to share with other users' projects.
I think it would work like

share [variable1 v] to [My project v] :: variables

technically already possible but requires some potentially illegal tos-breaking magic

that… is basically the entire point of this suggestion. like, bridge variables are all about viewing and editing cloud variables of other projects. however, the whole thread mentions a security system making sure that creators of both projects being bridged agree to it
