Report cloud data glitches here

Awesome119

I set up this highscore cloud variable in my new game, but it keeps resetting to 0 every time someone loads the project, and i don't see anything in the code that would do this.
And now it seems to be fine, great. it isn't Fixed it.

why does cloud variables only support numbers?

probably because there would be a overflow of scratch chats on scratch and the scratch team would have to get rid of 69,420 chats everywhere.

But then I used a signature. It changed everything. See, a signature is a piece of text, scratchblocks or BBCode that is attached to every post you make.

I have a problem with cloud data. I have an unshared project, where I'm making a Multiplayer Test, and when I reload the editor page, every variable is reset to 0. Can anyone help with this??

Have you shared the project? Unshared projects, even if they are cloud variables get reset because the cloud variable is not needed

Ah, ok. I get it now. But why did you say “not needed”?

Cloud variables work in unshared projects and retain their state correctly, when they aren't experiencing other issues.

I have another issue!! The project is shared now, and even then when I refresh it doesn't save. it just resets

Maybe it has this in it:

when green flag clicked
set [cloud variable] to [0]

Cloud data is a feature that allows users to store number-containing variables “in the cloud,” or on Scratch's servers. These variables are shared between all computers running a project, which allows different uesrs' computers to communicate. Cloud variables have the character “☁” (a cloud icon in the font Scratch uses) in front of them, to distinguish them from regular variables. It may appear as something other than the standard cloud symbol if a user's computer does not support the default Scratch font.
Cloud variables update automatically, as opposed to requiring a refresh before updating. While the update is not instant, it is usually updated relatively quickly.
If both Scratchers have a reasonably fast Internet connection (DSL/Cable), and there are no restrictive firewalls on the computers/network, updates should be transmitted in milliseconds. However, many computers have firewall software running in them, and if the firewall software blocks outgoing connections to TCP port 531 and TCP port 843, the time-lag becomes one-second.
Cloud data can not be used by New Scratchers. The Scratch Team does not want people new to Scratch misusing cloud variables, as it could put a large load on the system that it cannot handle, most likely leading to the feature not working (see section “Issues with Cloud”).
Cloud variables use the regular blocks associated with variables. The only difference is that the value is truly global, and is reflected across all copies of the project being viewed on the Scratch Website.
Cloud data is referred to as “persistent” in the code and some early development versions.
Since cloud data is stored on the server, cloud variables cannot be used in the Offline Editor.
Though it is possible to create chatrooms with cloud data, such projects are forbidden by the Scratch Team because they are too difficult to moderate.

Cloud variables may only store numbers and may be a maximum of 256 digits long (consisting only of the digits 0..9).

I notice in your Cloud Multiplayer Test project that you are attempting to set your cloud variables to boolean values using the strings 'true' and 'false'. These values are comparable in Scratch to numeric values as 1 and 0, but I imagine that here it sees it as a string – this is not allowed, and these update attempts will be ignored.

You use numbers in your project Cloud Multiplayer Game, however.

Just in case Scratch did something special with these values that I am unaware of, I made a test project to confirm that Scratch will not save updates to variables when attempting to set them to:

true (a string)
false (a string)
the result of a Boolean expression block
anything including characters other than the digits 0123456789 (a decimal number is allowed, containing at most one decimal point – e.g., 1.02)

** Note: If you set the cloud variable to a numerical expression using a Boolean value, it will work .

In your project above, when you first created these variables they were defaulted to zero (0). None of the other updates that stored the connection status of p1 or p2 were allowed by the server and so were not applied and do not appear in the cloud history log.

I made a thing and it's kind of fun :

I neglected to add:

There is nothing stopping you from storing your own numerical values that mean ‘true’ or ‘false’, even 1 and 0 if you want. You could then interpret these values as needed.

You could even store them as follows using a numerical expression to ensure that they are converted to a numeric value:

set [☁ p1 online?] to ((myLocalBooleanVariable) + (0))
...or...
set [☁ p1 online?] to (<[myLocalVariable] = [true]> + (0))

Okay, but is this a glitch, or am I missing the point??

You're missing that it was discussion from my prior post explaining why @Minecraft_Master3964's issue was not a glitch (and how to resolve it).
