In my game scratch but Roblox you can sign in, and create usernames and passwords. the code adds it to the list, however, if this item wasn't added by me while I was editing the game, it wont save once you go back to the game, therefore deleting that account. How do I fix this?

My game to reference off of: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/751416517/

First, become a Scratcher, than you need to use cloud variables, which are stored in the server. Lists are reset when you leave the project.

Im just posting on my alt, Im a scratcher on my main, and will be a scratcher here in like 2 days.

Than follow that tutorial with your main, the encoding part in particular. Note, freely typing in cloud variables and encoding isn’t allowed, there has to be some limits

what tutorial? I dont see one

ok thanks

There is also a 256 character limit in cloud variables. However, if you were to use turbowarp.org then you will be able to store tens of thousands of characters in the cloud variables. However, the cloud variables are reset often, as they would take up all of the space in the servers.

If you want a user's data to be saved, I suggest using save codes, since they don't require cloud variables and can be considerably long.

Thanks, but im trying to avoid using save codes, as it would require me to save every singles game data, (I plan to add a lot) which would then not necessarily be easy to save, rather than just keeping your data under your username, which if I am able to fix this problem, I should be able to do.

I guess there is no harm in trying, but at some point the space will mostly likely run out.

Ok, thank you, though I hope it works.

you can actually encrpyt the data inside the save/load variable. Take basically any save code for example. You probably can read it, with some knowledge of the game, but then you can scramble it, segment it to become much less human-friendly.
Ex
a = hwhhws
b = hb2ba2
c = 92912c
so on. As long as all the scrambles are the same length, you can always detect when a string starts and ends. Ill make an example project.

Is there any way to “create” a cloud list? for example storing data on the cloud with variables and sending it to a list so you can sign in once you want to play? Also, I'm a scratcher on this account now

You could remix a cloud list project and continue from there. Make sure you give credit to the creators though.

But are you aware that each project only has 10 cloud variables of max 256 digits each? Encoding a username will normally need 2 digits per character so this does limit things. A save code is much less limited and I don't understand your comment about having to ‘save every singles game data’. Which method is best is up to you but you do need to be aware of the cloud data limits.

So would I be able to encode data into a cloud variable, then turn it back into normal data and place it into the list once a player plays? Also, having “the data of every game” is that I'm making a Roblox parody game, so you will be able to play multiple things. Except for the things like platformers, they will need to save your data and just keeping basic settings for you not even playing the game yet I will need to store, so do you know the limit to save codes, and how far they can go before they cannot work anymore?

Since you can export an entire list there is no real limit to save codes since that method is an option. Of course you can convert cloud data into a list but it sounds to me as if you have too much data per player to really make this an option. How many digits would you need per player to save all the data for them?

I would need a maximum of 37 digits per player, but it would probably average at 22. Also ,Is there any way to get more than 10 cloud variables?

Nope. Try using ScratchAttach and a 3rd party server.

ok
