@c6099952795-bd492b4e what do you mean your file still has them? like your file explorer still shows them on your pc? if that’s what you mean then that isn’t a bug or even possible to be “fixed”

@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)

Say goodbye to style!

@catty well I’m surprised there’s still any hint of dark mode after the second one, lemme try fixing that

omg I tried quoting this and I just struggled to gain back control of my abilty to reply, turns out the page doesn’t like trying to preview the entire page but with > beginning every line, did you paste it in power shell before sending it?

@thebrickmaster626-f522560b no, I’m not sure how to display stuff over the 3d scene like the home screen project

Cast Weirdify

@thebrickmaster626-f522560b I already have a two joystick system already made, you get the direction and distance each joystick is from the center of it’s thingy, https://play.creaticode.com/projects/673b45dab08c383c7eea0609

edit: you have to broadcast “Mobile Controls” to start it

@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

@s9205307-810c679a You want a compound body (I think thats what it’s called) not a convex hull

@info-creaticode I think I can have each instance of a user in a world be a separate column in a messages table, then I fetch it all and just filter through all columns (actually I may have it go a row per user so I can fetch it by the entire row) for any rows that are for the world (semi complex filter with row number of item containing and some smart data formatting), put them in a separate table/list, and append them to the chat, though a new tab/sheet block would be quite nice and likely convient for quite a few projects with google sheets

@info-creaticode that’s a really good idea, though the issue is how would I do per world, now that I think about it I could use the same method but with a massive sheet of all the worlds and users, and use a mark system or a user data sheet for what worlds a user is in, thank you for giving me the idea! (any suggestions on what I’ve said more of would be appreciated)

(This is a question targeted towards ppl like Jeff who may have experience with stuff like this)

I have decided I’ll use google sheets for my chat room project after creaticode mentioned it had a limited number of rows, my question is, I need some ideas for how I would do this. I have a few ideas but what to know if anybody has any other ones, I just want to not have to read the sheet every time I write (to check for next message) because if people send messages too quickly next to each other, it could overwrite. Any ideas are appreciated

@011830-0a42ef84 wdym upgraded ui? for any upgrades you would just use different costumes, plus widgets would be best for any ui elements

@s9205307-810c679a I was talking about the static desktop background

@011830-0a42ef84 the issue is you’ll need projectile/bullet speed first (or just detections on if a unit is pointing at an enemy so when it shoots it should actually damage an enemy)

@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

is there a more secure way to set google sheets write perms? You could add a sort of authentication thing in the my stuff page, where you can add something like a proxy link to reference in projects. So you can write to the link and it will tell the server/your device (I think my quick research has lead to inconclusive results on the google sheets cors policy) to write/read that google sheet, and you could either authorize projects to use the link or only allow your own projects to use the link. I can try to simplify/provide an example if needed

@011830-0a42ef84 are you sure you want them to turn at a limited speed? you should just have them point towards the object at all times in the context of tower defense, turn speed isn’t really something to have (especially without projectile collision stuff)

@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)

@info-creaticode I’m not currently able to check if it is, currently it’s a minor annoyance because I’ll be listening to music and when I go to edit or make a custom block, it’ll have the music stop and play the pop sound, the editor has no other sound effects so it’s very random (I do also doubt that the lone sound effect would be in regular scratch due to it being the only sound that can be played from the editor)

The project is shared to friends only, this is only because I don’t want somebody just remixing it and removing moderation stuff (and it’s very complex so it wouldn’t really do much good looking inside).

Features:
Report system: use /report to submit a report to set staff of the project (manually set by me, I do plan on setting forum mods with perms) with the context of the current world, your user id, and anything you put in the report (it submits the report as a string, to report a user you just mention a person’s user in the report)
Simple world system: You can easily create and join a world, and leave one with /leave
Url world joining system: you can make a url to join the current world you are in very simply (will add a url generator), it will join the world via the url (password has to be included, though it’s smart so that it will try whatever password the user last used, so you can post a url publicly and tell some people the password and only they can join)

@011830-0a42ef84 you can add a counter for how many enemies have spawned that goes up when they spawn and down when they exit/get shot

@011830-0a42ef84
It may seem a little complex, but I can explain it all if you want

@011830-0a42ef84 you could have instead when it turns to face an object, you caclulate the direction it’ll go and if that direction is higher than the rotation speed, turn the rotation speed, but if it’s less you just turn the direction. Also top down physics are quite possible with gravity being 0

When making a custom block there are several triggers that cause the editor to play a sound. The issue I have is that I listen to music in the same browser that I program in, and when the sound trigger plays it pauses the other tab. The sound happens when you interact with anything in the custom block editor (clicking into a text field to edit it, adding an inputfield/label, pressing any of the checkboxes, and clicking cancel, okay, or X), but only plays once and not again until you close it and reopen it.

Maybe this worky

@011830-0a42ef84 you click new variable in the variable tab, I’m a bit busy rn so in a bit

@011830-0a42ef84 you need variables that when made you select “for this sprite only”, variables you do that for are able to be set across all clones, independently, you’d have to clean up a lot of your code though

This is a little game I made with some assets I made over on scratch, I try my best to make it very mod friendly, with you being able to add new zombies very easily! (I will add comments if requested)
