You are a new scratcher. Scratch will not allow you to use cloud variables until you become a full scratcher. Here are the requirements: https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/New_Scratcher_Status#Requirements_for_becoming_a_Scratcher

Whoops. Looks like someone else already answered.

It's because you are new scratcher. Make some projects to become scratcher

Please help, I'm scratcher but none of the cloud variable games are working and idk if its a glitch or something else…

EDIT: It's working for my friend though, so I think it is a glitch

I can't set cloud variables even though I'm a scratcher. Whenever I go on something with cloud variables, the variable shows the value inputted but it isn't uploaded. I can see that it's working for other people from the cloud monitor, but idk why not for me.

Great! A place that I can finally ask about this one thing that's been bugging me. Why can't students of Scratch classes use cloud variables? I was planning on making a multiplayer game using my school account (my main isn't active enough to get out of New Scratcher, and i'm not gonna spend time on an account which i have nothing on lol) I can create cloud variables, but there aren't any of the cloud blocks (cloud check, player id, etc.) in my variable block lists.

Just Found This. Here Is The Issue

I Can't Create A Cloud Variable For My Game When It Is Needed For What I Am Doing, The Rest Of Scratch Is Working Fine Otherwise

Here is some debugging info I've figured out after a lot of tests:
1) You can't create cloud var: a) You reached limit of 10 cloud vars per project. Solution: Remove some vars.
b) You are new scratcher. Solution: Become a scratcher. (More info on wiki)
c) It's glitched. Solution: Clear cache and refresh page.
2) Cloud vars doesn't update: a) You are a new scratcher. Solution: Become a scratcher. (More info on wiki)
b) You've downloaded the project. Solution: Make a new cloud var and replace all old cloud vars with a new one
c) You are updating a lot of vars at the same time. Solution: Use “Wait 0.1 seconds” block between updating or use
broadcasting messages.
d) It's glitched. Solution: Try all of these tips mentioned up or refresh the page.
e) You reached 256 characters. Solution: Split it to 2 vars.
f) You are trying to replace cloud var with letters. Solution: Use numbers instead

you can put letters in cloud variable if at the start you put 0x
this is because it thinks it's a hexadecimal value and it doesn't check if it's from A-F you can put any letters a - z

Not anymore that was fixed when 3.0 came out.

What's wrong with this game? https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/620375420/ Cloud doesn't seem to be working

For some reason, the cloud varribles will not update on my project, i've been testing a cloud data saving project, and the variables will not update, I have them set to update every 1 second, and they update on my screen, but they do not save when i reload the site.

I'm also having this same problem… It's very weird. Scratch recorded the cloud variable changes that were made, but when reloading the project, it went back to 0. But the records were still there. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/613688710/

Does this happen to all of you ?
I have this Game where there's a high Score system but it never updates. Before this, it worked fine it will update but now it doesn't maybe if you make a record it will update for you but then after reloading the page the High Score will not update anymore, say right now the High Score is 52 and the high score holder is @RA039 (me) this was updated when everything was fine but if you try to play it and beat the high score maybe it will set to your score and Your username but if you reload the page it will set to my username and 52…. Hope it gets fixed soon

This isn't an issue, there's no such thing as those blocks. They are just a nromal variable that can only store numbers, are limited to 255 characters and are synced across clients.

Serious issue ever since new new cloud systems were put in place– cloud variables have a weird tendency to revert back to older values or even go straight back to zero for no reason upon project reload

The cloud variable log shows the new value, but the variable in the project doesn't reflect it

when i feel like making stuff :: events hat
make {
brands :: motion
mods :: looks
} :: control loop cap
