Broadcasting messages across projects.

RedDragonNinja

How would I broadcast a message to another project? Please help me.

scubajerry

broadcast [Something v] and wait
//in other project
when I receive [Something v]

RedDragonNinja

I tried that, but it doesn't work.

Would I need to use cloud variables as they are different projects?

On you did say projects. Broadcast don't work across projects. You would need handshakes using cloud variables.

Handshake
one project waits for a cloud variable to be set in a loop

the other project sets it.

You cannot share the cloud variable in DIFFERENT projects, only on two instances of the same project:

From http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Cloud_Data

"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. "

You can only broadcast between sprites. Here's an example:

//In obstacle's script:

when I start as a clone
wait until <(player dead?) = [1]>
hide
broadcast [end game v]
delete this clone

//In backdrop's script:

when I receive [end game v]
switch backdrop to [you lost v]
play sound [you died. v] until done
set [Player Score v] to (Score:)
show variable [Player Score v]
show variable [cloud World Highscore v]
if <(Player Score) > (cloud World Highscore)> then
set [cloud World Highsocre v] to (Player Score)

You may also wish to note on the same page:

“They do not refresh instantly, however; they lag about 2 seconds between updates. ”

broadcast [ v] to project [ name]

and

when I receive on channel

And 


(Data)


And also 
when data recieved on channel [ channelname]



These blocks will not cause interference if multiple projects are broadcasting at the same time.
