How to Make a Simple Login/Save Feature?

Baselira

I already have the account creation feature and Im able to login, and now that i have access to could data how can I make a login feature that can save your progress and once you log back in you come back to where you left off?

Make checkpoints and a variable that changes based on which checkpoint you're at. Then, use a script to check what is in the checkpoints variable and load from the checkpoint that corresponds to the variable state. You will need to use variables/broadcasts that access the checkpoint from the account login OR from the last checkpoint.

this made no sense

XD im ded

So you make like a point/sprite on a certain area of the stage that has its own variable such as Checkpoint and thats all I understood? D:

Well, you could make something like this:

To Save:

add (cloud data) to [data v]
say (join [Your ID is ](length of [data v])) for (2) secs // this shows the most current save, which would be the users save.

To login:

ask [Enter your ID:] and wait
set [load data v] to (item (answer) of [data v]) // fetches data from cloud

From there, you can access the data

By data you mean username and password in lists? Becuase instead of data I had if you clicked New and created an account it saved the registered username is list Username and the password in list Password, so would I have to only use 1 or would it already have it sorted out? And for enter ID could i repeat that for the enter username and enter password blocks?

Or would i have to give them a code and automatically add it to the list?

Welp I fixed some things but now it only lets 1 user ID save, how do I fix this to allow for more than 1 user ID to be user-saved?

You need to be able to save data which the project can use to put a user back to the position they'd reached. This will vary by project but you should be able to work out what you need to save. Then you need something to save data for each username. My project may help. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/73630038/

I looked and its a good script, but when you reload it doesnt save the value of Baselira/username, and thats what I'm trying to achieve, but that would be a good start, thank you c:

I don't understand what you mean. It's a project that gives you everything you need to save a numeric string related to a Scratch username. In what way is that not what you were after?

Local saving is not possible yet.
Online saving is possible when the Cloud Lists come out.
I'm REALLY looking forward to the Cloud Lists.

You seem to think cloud lists exist - they don't. Any cloud list project emulates the list by saving encoded data to the cloud and extracting it as required.

Hi, this is related, I don't want a log in feature in my project, but what about save features? How do I do that? No offence, it's kinda confusing.

If you need help and can't find a recent post on the subject (this does crop up regularly) start your own new topic rather than necroposting please.

Cloud variables are fairly limited now - max 128 digits each - so the amount you can encode is limited. A code you can cut and save is potentially better.
