Thanks for reporting. We will fix this.

@Tyller_

FYI this issue has been fixed.

@info-creaticode I have sent the email from my school email so it’s different from the one on my creaticode account

@tyller_

Reading range A1:Z999999 is definitely too large. How about trying to read a few rows at a time?

@tyller_

This issue has been fixed.

@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

@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 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 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

@tyller_ This has been updated to use the google sheets blocks! This means it will have no limit to how many worlds/messages/users there can be (each user is logged to show usernames when loading a world and to allow banning)

The sheets url is not shared (I can make a separate project without the url referenced for sharing) so all messages/worlds are secure, I will attempt to reimplement moderation commands shortly after I send this post

I can add “themes” (other styles of the chat screen) if requested, these would be stuff like text box based messages (all messages are shown in a large text box and you have a text bar to type). The purpose of these would be if enough people don’t like the default CreatiCode chat style

@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)

@tyller_
my access to readjusted and readable pages has expired 😞

@tyller_

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

@tyller_

Thanks. We will look into this.

@tyller_

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

@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 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

We will look into these. 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:

@lilly_is_cool I don’t mean to be rude but you have no idea what he means lol. He is talking about an error on CreatiCode that is why cloud blocks don’t work

@tyller_

Thanks. We will change to handle pressing “X” and return a value of “CANCELED”.

@tyller_

Thanks for the feedback.

We can confirm there is a small delay in typing on iPad. We will investigate why that is happening.

@tyller_

@tyller_

This issue is fixed now. Please reload the playground and test.

@tyller_

Noted. Thanks

@tyller_

Got it. We will put that on our list of improvements. For the time being, please use the "// " comment block above the block.

@tyller_

Thank you. We will investigate.

This issue has been resolved.

@info-creaticode that’d work, I was planning on using it to not let users send messages before my project is loaded for them, but still have the chat window up so I can have stuff log to it & let the user know the project is starting (the project has to check if a world exists, then create or join it before chat works)

@tyller_

It looks like this project was only saved partially so it couldn’t be correctly parsed. We’ll investigate how to recover it. Sorry about that.

CreatiCode

@tyller_

Thanks for reporting this issue. We will look into it.

@tyller_

We will add a guard to the regex block and recover your project. Sorry about that.

@tyller_

You are right. There are still some issues we are working on with the cloud blocks. We will post a working demo soon.

@info-creaticode oh okay, good to know that they’re not intended for use by everyone

@tyller_

This new block has been added. Here is a demo project on how to use it to add additional objects to an existing SPS:

@tyller_

Hi, sorry for the delay. We haven’t determined the proper rate limit on the cloud variables yet. So currently there is no limit, but we will update that when we see load issues.

In terms of multiplayer game, we strongly suggest using the multiplayer blocks, which would handle most of the common tasks for multiplayer games. The tutorial will be posted in a few days.

@info-creaticode it’s now shared, had forgot to share

@info-creaticode good to know, thank you!

@info-creaticode something else to mention (but very minor), the synchronously set speed x y direction multiplayer block has direction spelt “direciton”

@info-creaticode thank you

@tyller_

You are right, it will return “” when no 3D object is under the 2D point you specified. For a reference project, please check out this:

CreatiCode

@tyller_

Thanks. This issue has been fixed as well.

@info-creaticode thank you

@tyller_

This issue will be fixed in the next few days.

@info-creaticode also please note that every refresh it appears cached data increases, I don’t think that it would be caused by these as this is in the project editor

@tyller_

We can confirm the textbox will not handle the \n separated string on iPads as new lines at the moment. It is added to our list for future fixes. Thanks for reporting this issue.

@info-creaticode ece19161-3a4d-404a-af45-6ea26fdba841-image.png I have found out, it still works, but after changing and going back into it didn’t error crash so I’m just going to remove and remake the list

Never mind it’s still an option be47ead1-7e9c-4377-b06e-28762ce70886-image.png

@info-creaticode okay, that is good to know

@jaysen4games-gmail

You are welcome. There are just too many possible values to show them in a dropdown.

@jaysen4games-gmail

Noted. We will make sure proper warning messages are given when invalid requests are received.

Thanks for the suggestion.
CreatiCode

@jaysen4games-gmail

Hi, the wait block simply waits some time, and the time period can be specified by different units, where a frame is assumed to be 1/60 seconds. It does not account for the actual number of frames since it does not have that information.

If you need to run some code at fixed intervals, a better choice might be this block:

a3ace60e-f760-427f-b415-e1cf9b179f67-image.png

This block will try to run a new iteration by the fixed time interval, no matter how long it takes to finish each iteration.

If that does not work for your project, please share the project with us, and we can probably figure out a working solution for you.

@jaysen4games-gmail

Yes, that’s most likely due to a timeout from a long idle period.
