@info-creaticode also I have found data saving blocks output error 500 in the console when I try to use them

@info-creaticode when I made the new project it worked at first, but after about 3 or 4 times it just froze, even past refreshes, this is the same with my main project, and it never has let me make another world even after days https://play.creaticode.com/projects/66c4b48b244aac89fd7cabbb

I have noticed my project that uses Cloud blocks no longer works, I prefer using them, but I will migrate it all to the Multiplayer blocks if Cloud blocks are going to be removed

ChatGPT is responding in Chinese, I have tested this in multiple projects https://play.creaticode.com/projects/66c8d5b9fc1061dacb9fafbe

@011830-0a42ef84 the tutorials already available should be able to help you enough, they should be easy to find

I will have to wait until I can use my phone to show proof, but when typing anywhere on the main CreatiCode website (play.creaticode.com) it is laggy, in that it is slow to type and when I type it delays, like I type an entire sentence into instructions or notes & credits (or typing in a note/block) it takes a long time to type, and it shows the keys I press being pressed over time, I can show a video but when I actually press the key and when it types has a delay, and the faster I type the longer the offset is

TLDR: typing on an iPad on main website has a lag with even the keyboard and it isn’t here on the forums

I have two videos, one of in the editor and another of on the forums to show that it isn’t just me being very slow at typing, it’s quite annoying as I can type “Hello this is a test” in ~4 seconds at most but with the lag it takes ~15-20 seconds to type it all

I am unable to upload the videos right now due to when I try to upload a video to forums it says I do not have enough privilege for this action, I will attempt to upload to YouTube soon and reply/edit to add the links

@jeffreyrb03-gmail there’s a set list to split of text with splitter block, it’s right above the reporter blocks in the list section

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I’ve made a very simple multiplayer 3d game already, it works as long as cloud blocks were fixxed again https://play.creaticode.com/projects/65fb35e512caa07f9f906ea0

edit: cloud blocks still dont work, you’d have to migrate it to multiplayer blocks

I have found while making* something that you can set an item in a list (or it might do it to the whole list) to a slider, and if you touch it (that’s what I did at least) it acts like a variable slider, but r the green flag no longer works and if you leave and go back to the editor or go to a project panel with that project, it will show an error saying it has crashed and it has been reported to the CreatiCode team, I have noticed with several of my projects sometimes they will start to error when I try to reopen them or after refreshing and I can never use them again

PS: if you see this and aren’t a member of the CreatiCode team, just know DO NOT TRY SETTING A LIST TO SLIDER AND IF YOU DO THEN DO NOT TOUCH THE SLIDER BAR

@011830-0a42ef84 making it be in front of the camera as a flat wad object is possible, but it has a quite noticeable movement lag behind, which would be the same with a 3D object doing the same thing, actually there is a way, you can attach the camera to objects which is how you make it be the head of the player smoothly, you could merge the player controller into the 3Dified 2D object (because merging an object with more than one color on it into one which only has one overrides it) and hope it doesn’t try wrapping the texture around the player collider

Edit: Nvm you can just set the camera as it’s parent, I forgot that exists

Second edit was properly wording my stuff

@011830-0a42ef84 you could make this why just setting the viewport x slightly offset, and if you lock viewport to sprite then locking it to another sprite that always goes to the intended target but is offset while shaking

@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

@jeffreyrb03-gmail yeah, with projects that require a server my idea is you just assign the oldest client (or if it’s a project with a lobby the host) to be the server and have some checks so if the host leaves the world then the project tries to assign a new host, the pop up when you try to close the page would make it a lot easier to have the client acting as the server “gracefully” transition the status of server or save data when they try to leave

@jeffreyrb03-gmail yeah, but with uploading I’m thinking about all the logistics of not having two clients try uploading at the same time, and what if the client being used to upload data just closes the tab (when the warning when you try to leave the project page is added that won’t be an issue, unless request animation frame is paused by that prompt) I have many ideas and I think I have the willingness to try some rnrrr

@jeffreyrb03-gmail that does seem like a much better idea, but whats the limit on the database row count, I’d asusme it’d be about the semantic or knn limit (100 for regular users 200 for premium, I was reading docs and scrolled over it)

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Im going to try using google apps scripts, currently I’m attempting to find the rate limits but am unable to find the free rate limits for any of it

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I just need some ideas on how to implement it, not 100% sure on my logistics plan with this

edit: also we have to use google sheets if we do go through with this because my home wifi doesn’t allow website hosting (looked it up to verify I wasn’t being stupid with the port forwarding not working) so I don’t think using fetch webpage as markdown (and chanigng like an unused parameter url so it doesn’t cache) would work unless you can use that not to send the delayed fetches (creaticode said it lets page content load)

@jeffreyrb03-gmail all my plans involve self hosting on my laptop (its how I hosted my discord bots), wher eI use the google api (already used to download files to google drive, don’t ask I went insane trying to) to constantly read a google sheet for changes (or set a handler) and run some stuff when somebody writes to a sheet, which automatically formats the message data into another sheet which all clients can read (but the project isn’t shared), also you can’t write formulas to a google sheet, trying to prefix anyhting with = when writing a table will put ’ infront of it in the google sheet

@011830-0a42ef84 I’m just wondering if jeff would like to help me with a project I am dedicated to expanding in an overly complicated way, api is how you interact with special services, like discord bots use the discord bot api

@jeffreyrb03-gmail on a scale of 1-10, how much experience do you have with using node js for api interactions, I am thinking about doing something very overly complicated to make message storage easier for my chatrooms project. I can do this programming myself but if you have the knowledge to help me make some scripting I’d welcome all the help (I have already used the api I need to use and made several projects so I can do it if you don’t want to help)
