@info-creaticode Oh ok. Thank you, sorry for the false alarm.

@tyller_ Thanks for letting me know. I placed the moderation block back and it works now! I will also organize my blocks and clean up loose blocks. Thanks!

@jeffreyrb03-gmail thanks

@tyller_

This issue has been fixed.

The current ChatGPT outage has been resolved.

@s9205307-810c679a

This issue has been fixed.

@catty The spacebar should (or should also) be used for “jump”

@jeffreyrb03-gmail thank you guys for adding that in I just saw it gives the full code now

@011830-0a42ef84

Please refer to this example:

play.creaticode.com/projects/675378ad977fa780536fd819

The idea is that we already know the position of the rope, then we just need to know the position of the player, then calculate the direct distance between these 2 2D coordinates.

@011830-0a42ef84

Thanks for sharing your project. Here are some high level comments:

You can not mix 3D physics blocks and “set speed” blocks. If you are controlling objects using the 3D physics engine, you have to delegate all movements to the engine, and only use blocks in the “3D physics” category to make objects move/turn.

We can’t add the animations you requested since they are not available in the mixamo.com library. You will have to use the animations available now.

For specific questions on individual blocks, can you please try to ask XO first?

@catty aaa

@011830-0a42ef84
Soo… we’re tryna become discord now? (joke)

There’s already live post updates. What are the benefits to know when someone is typing?
Plus wouldn’t this also break the whole point of ‘invisible’?

@info-creaticode it does that in the backdrop, the lib is intended to have the setup ran after the user has joined a game, everything in backdrop is for demonstration purposes

@catty

@011830-0a42ef84

Here is an example project for setting the diretion/speed of a 3D object, then read its direction/speed using the object property reporter block:

@011830-0a42ef84

In the costume editor, you can hold down the SHIFT key, then click any shape to select or deselect by itself, while keeping the other selection unchanged.

@011830-0a42ef84

You can try to unhide the basic sprite and trigger this stack of blocks manually, and you should see the animations. If you are not seeing the same animation in games, then it must be due to other reasons.

You might want to read about how to debug here and try these techniques:

@tyller_ no

Can you please reload the page, and make sure you are logged in, and then try XO again? We have made some improvement to XO, but we are not sure if they would resolve your specific issue. Thanks

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

We will fix this issue. Thanks

@jeffreyrb03-gmail okay so my current plan is to have it write to the sheet in a specific cell and use an extension in sheets to either copy the raw data (one cell for it all, using join with and some stuff to prevent the data from escaping, if you want to know what I mean then ask) to one cell, and have the user just read all the data and format it on the client, or I can have the user post data to a random place in a receiving sheet and the extension copy’s all the data that the client posted into the sheet

@info-creaticode thx

@dnikitoss-7ac89c07

Thank you. We will fix this issue.

@catty your welcome! I’m aways able to help!

@info-creaticode Just made a YouTube one:
fd5aa1e9-a320-421d-a125-e23fb71a8c6c-image.png
That will generate this:

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js"></script> <div class="g-ytsubscribe" data-channelid="UC_FXfu97VJLbGM8TRBpS90g" data-layout="full" data-count="default"></div>

All the block needs to change is just the data-channelid and if “yes” is chose for dark theme, just add data-theme="dark" attribute to the div.

Edit: code result: 2e39c053-47f9-453c-90af-5dd3388d5b15-image.png

@info-creaticode thx for fixing it, sorry I haven’t replied in a while.

Added a mini boss: Summoner

(type /summon summoner to spawn it)

https://play.creaticode.com/projects/6730fb66bf68856fe9840816

Please tell me any bugs you find. The launcher might be a bit bugged with summoner, I don’t know how to fix it

@s9205307-810c679a tetris with physics doesn’t sound like a good idea unless it’s an experiment or something. Like what if there’s some small disturbance now you have angled tetrominoes/pieces. Also that would make the game’s current gameplay much harder such as techniques where you try to put something in a tight place by flipping it very quickly before it hits the ground or other blocks would now become obsolete/not work at all.

@info-creaticode Thank you

@jeffreyrb03-gmail any that I use with creaticode I have the project not shared, if I really want to share it to some ppl I can just use my alt to host and share with friends and only friend ppl who I truely trust. Plus for security with perms you can lock a table if you still want it writable, I use that just to ensure I don’t wipe my data tables

@info-creaticode Got it

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Please wait a bit longer and test it after we release a new version of that block. If it still doesn’t work for your use case, we can discuss adding a different block.

@s9205307-810c679a also i saw your comment and did it (tab in a tab in a tab) :
694a860d-8d61-4933-b741-c6a4e07e32af-image.png

the page title thing is broken but will be fixed soon. Also check it out, there more features and it works again finally. New things are being added and I’m making it more complex and useful.

@011830-0a42ef84

This is a fun game.

So let’s solve one problem at a time. To limit the rotation speed, you can try to use a loop to repeatedly rotate the sprite a little bit towards the target’s direction.

Here is a demo project:

play.creaticode.com/projects/67351d4fef35162a42f8bc50

As you can see, in a forever loop, we take 3 steps:

calculate angle difference between current direction and the desired direction normalize that difference to within -180 and 180 rotate for up to the speed limit

This is what you will get as you move the mouse:

speedlimit.gif

@info-creaticode I know nobody will see it, but I want to be able to share the project without ripping out the functionality in another project, I now realize how that isn’t really an issue. I just wanted to mention it because it was slightly annoying that I gotta take all sheets references in a copy for it to be sharable

@info-creaticode unfortunely I use my school ipad with safari, and I have quickly researched and found that you can’t mute a single tab in safari. I feel like just removing it would be the best option because there aren’t any other sound fx for the editor (and if there are then they’re obscure because I’ve never heard any others)

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Thanks for the detailed suggestion.

We try not to change any feature that’s inherited from MIT Scratch, since we want to make the transition from MIT Scratch to creaticode very smooth. If, for example, a Scratch tutorial talks about a font, but the students see a different menu, then it might cause confusion.

On the other hand, we can definitely try to enhance the font list for widget styling. Your list looks great as a starting point, and we will research if we can add the original Scratch fonts into our list as well.

@catty

Thank you for the feedback. We will look into it.

@info-creaticode Ohh, I see, I also just realized it could be changed by changing the text color when you hover on it to still keep the white color. Thank you for the quick response, I understand now.

@011830-0a42ef84 lol

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Thanks for the detailed feedback. We’ll wait for more discussions in this thread before implementing new notification systems. We want to hear from more users on exactly what type of notifications are most useful.

@tyller_

This issue is fixed. Please reload the playground and try again.

@011830-0a42ef84

There is no premium limitation at the moment, so please ignore this message.

@011830-0a42ef84

Your project is loading fine now.

There is one issue that you need to fix. Since you are working with the 2D physice engine, you need to use blocks from the “2D physics” category. Currently it is using the “apply force” block for 3D physics. You can tell the color is different for 3D related blocks.

:Me secretively controlling a government controlled agency:

@tyller_

Thanks. We will look into this.

@info-creaticode I don’t know if that will like stop the user from pressing the green flag and resetting their progress in say, a drawing app. The green flag usually resets things, which is it’s purpose, like resetting widgets and whatnot. However, some method to like give a prompt that says “You have unsaved work in this project, are you sure you want to reset it?” would be good, but i don’t think a hat block would logically make sense for this thing.

@info-creaticode
Okay! Sorry for bumping this old topic, then.

@info-creaticode 👍

@tyller_ Ohh, that’s pretty clever! I was thinking about using a sprite for that in the way you said but it felt sort of redundant to put a small amount of code in a sprite and make whole new messages and variables just for that simple function.

I haven’t been working on YN3D lately because I’m a bit burnt out, instead working on my iFrame net browser project. I’m using this so that if you try to go to a URL, it will check if its safe first with the read URL as markdown block and here: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url= (url) . However, this takes too long sometimes, so I just wanna make it if it takes too long to run that code then it just stops.

@011830-0a42ef84
No I literally checked, Night Eye does not affect it.

@s9205307-810c679a i responded to your comment on my project, thx for checking it out

@tyller_

The issue has been fixed now. Please refresh and try again.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Ik how http requests work, I hosted two discord bots on my laptop (and I only used chatgpt to learn new stuff, like dot notation and what some api stuff was because I was not gonna dig through the api docs), it seems to load it all via script tags, like I can’t find “About Me” or any content in it via view-source in the body doc, and I’ve found the script file (https://play.creaticode.com/scratch-playground.0f9a92301b4653bde090.js) used with like everything it seems

@011830-0a42ef84 oh nvm then i forgot

@tyller_

Thank you. We will look into these issues.

@tyller_

Confirmed. Changing the column definition for the collection does not work. We will fix this soon.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

yes, in theory, the “carve” block would allow you to remove all other models and keep only the model you need. However, it will be extremely slow given the complexity of the existing model collection

@info-creaticode Ohh, ok. Thank you for taking the time to research it.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

The viewers may be anonymous visitors or users on this forum if your project is posted here.

Though it could be interesting to see the list, it might add a lot of additional tracking/loading of data.

@info-creaticode Ok! Seems great! 😄

@s9205307-810c679a

The example project above has been updated to create 2 clones of each box, and set up the fixed relative position constraint between them.

@info-creaticode Thank you, I should do that.

@info-creaticode Ok, thank you!

@catty yeah prolly lol

@011830-0a42ef84 not just hats, could be anything like glasses too, but shirts and pants will be a little harder because I’ll need to add animations of moving to go along with the character so that you don’t see the player’s leg going through the pants instead of the pants looking like they’re attached to the player

@info-creaticode Ahhh yes, thats pretty good

@info-creaticode
Thanks.

@011830-0a42ef84
Have fun.
Farewell.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail
yeah… i forgot about the project part, haha…

@cattyplayzy I honestly think databases (with the source code hidden of course) would be 1000x easier and more convienient to do.

@cattyplayzy said in How would one implement a swear word/inappropriate message filter in their project?:

How would they get a source code?

also with this, honestly some people need to write their own code. It’s good to take code from others, but when the source code is hidden for something, then you just have to accept that and try to recreate it using what you already know. Unless of course you like reverse engineer something to hack it

@cattyplayzy

All the tutorials are listed here: https://www.forum.creaticode.com/category/17/tutorials

Also, you can use the search box on the top right.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Thank you for the information. We are working on improving the comment loading process so it is refreshed automatically.

@cattyplayzy well parse means to like read and interpret something, and has a definition under “computing” so im pretty sure it is

@pullth3l3v3r hi

@info-creaticode
That’s great to hear! Thank you.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

It should not be used to store real secrets like passwords. The reason is that this block runs on the “client” side (the user’s browser), so when the data is sent over the Internet to the webserver, it is exposed in the network package.

However, for most games/projects you build for learning, it should be good enough.

The “private” mode is meant to store data specific for one user. Say 100 users are running your shared game. Suppose each of them can specify a secret passcode that can be used to save or load game progress. You can use this block and use the “private” mode, so the data is separated by user ID, and 2 users can’t see each other’s data.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Thanks for the explanation. XO doesn’t really take much computation or memory resource, so likely this is because the XO server is blocked by your school.

@cattyplayzy
nevermind I can’t. Will keep noted for the next animation, however.

@011830-0a42ef84 yeah, to put it simply, not that it’s an abuse of mod, but I genuinely think that this is"CreatiCode or coding related" because it’s about congratulation of a moderator of the CC forums (Catty) for getting 200+ rep (in the CC forums), so it’s related to CreatiCode, moreso it’s forums

@info-creaticode
Alright, thanks!

@tyller_

We have fixed the “date” block.

We have also added a new block for representing how many seconds have passed since 2000.01.01, which is the typical way of handling timestamps. Please try the new block:

https://www.forum.creaticode.com/topic/1510/number-of-seconds-since-2000

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Please see our comments below:

We can make the preview draggable, and add the option to edit an existing model. we can add social features The “add user avatar” block is fixed now Add user avatar is different from adding community model in that it assumes the model is an avatar with human skeleton, so it supports all the animations. The categories are fixed as they are used as filters on top of the model library window. They are not that important, since most users simply search for models by name Sketchfab charges money for most of their models, so there is no API to allow our users to freely use their 3D models.

We will look into these. Thanks.

@info-creaticode
We mean when the topic is purged.

@king-cole
i mean… same…

@cattyplayzy wdym your,
@info-creaticode said in Some feedback.:

@tyller_

For the coding platform, we will allow users to change their username.

But it seems @jeffreyrb03-gmail is talking about this forum.

mentioning the coding platform, currently all you can change in the coding platform is what the full name block outputs, which would be your display name, since they said they will allow, not already exists, they would let you change the output of the username block, and as long as they add another way to specifically ID a user that doesn’t change then it would be fine, but that way doesn’t exist right now

@info-creaticode
Okay.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail
Okay, thank you!
