@info-creaticode I just figured out my error. Sadly, it is embarrassing but something my students do more than I like. I was coding my sprite under the stage section not with the sprite. I’ve moved the code and now it works. I am eye rolling myself while laughing. Thank you for reaching out (also, I am not sure why my screenshots did not post originally).

@info-creaticode

Thanks a lot!

@bruhisch-gmail said in What are reward points doing?:

And what can I do if I got rewarded?

We are still experimenting with a few options. Will announce more details in the future.

@jaysen4games-gmail

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

@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.

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

@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.

@blakelanden112-gmail

Yes, it is still in Beta test, and we are improving it based on user feedback.

oh… I found it in my 2D project and it woks! Thanks for helping me, guys! For leting me know that

@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.

@011830-0a42ef84

Sorry about that. We will put in a fix later today.

@ldelabruere-gmail

Hi Lucie,

You are right. Only users who have signed in can use the ChatGPT blocks. That’s partly because we need to monitor any users who abuse this feature and take action.

Any user can easily sign up for free with a valid email address, or they can log in directly using Google login.

You can also create a class with new student accounts for free, and then assign them to your students: https://www.forum.creaticode.com/topic/547/teacher-only-how-to-manage-students-in-the-my-class-page

Step 2: On the CreatiCode website, create a new project.

Step 3: Select “File” -> “Load from your computer”, then select the sb3 file, then it should load the project with the correct blocks/assets/name:

@info-creaticode Thanks!

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Yes. Most likely, you had the hat as the “selected sprite object” instead of the person, so when you use a motion block, the hat is moved.

@011830-0a42ef84

This would be an interesting game/tutorial. We can do it but it will take a while on the queue of things. If you want to start now, you can try to use our AI assistant “XO”. It is pretty good at handling project planning, but usually you get better results if you divide your request into small questions.

@011830-0a42ef84

It is working normally now. Can you please try to reload the page?

@011830-0a42ef84 i support that, but Idk if Creaticode would say on the matter.

@011830-0a42ef84

The “when this sprite clicked” block works for clones, since clones are also sprites.

Also, this is a good question that you can ask our AI assistant “CreatiCode XO”, so you do not have to wait for answers here.

For example, you can ask XO this question: how to make a clone of a sprite say “hi” when it is clicked?

One possible response is the following program with explanations:

6348e856-f188-43bc-bab5-1bb10a05eb28-image.png

Explanation:

Create Clone: The create clone of [myself v] with ID [1] block creates a clone of the sprite with a unique ID (in this case, ‘1’). You can use any ID you’d like.

When I Start as a Clone: This block initializes the behavior for clones. It ensures the following script applies only to clones, not the original sprite.

When This Sprite Clicked: This block detects when any clone is clicked.

Say Block: The say [hi] for (2) seconds block makes the sprite say “hi” for 2 seconds when clicked.

And you can also follow this more complicated tutorial by griffpatch:

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

This can be done by setting a “negative scale” with the “update scale” block, and it even supports animations (though you probably don’t need it in this case).

@info-creaticode
Okay.

@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.

@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.

@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

@info-creaticode Ahhh yes, thats pretty good

@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.

@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

(edit): ok thanks!

@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.

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

@info-creaticode Got 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

@info-creaticode Thank you

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

@info-creaticode thx

@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.

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

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.

@s9205307-810c679a

This issue has been fixed.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail thanks

@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!

@emerson-rowberry-ec48eaae
this is just me on another account*

@ejrowberry09-12248f6d I’m not CreatiCode but I can answer your question. A slider is fine and possible, and no, there isn’t a block to check if someone is over 18 but that wouldn’t really be needed because if you plan on making an 18+ project, then you shouldn’t publish it publicly because this is a kids site. For your project to get views, you’ll have to advertise it somewhere else like say a web game development forum (not this one) to try to get people to play your project. It would be nice if they make project settings like “restrict to 13+ users, restrict to 18+ users” but they dont have that so that’d need to be a suggestion

@info-creaticode Good idea, thank you 😄

@info-creaticode Oh, thank you 😄

@011830-0a42ef84

Can you try it and let us know if there is any problem? You can also try to get help from our AI assistant.

@info-creaticode No Problem. Just need to clear up space, that’s all. Still want to keep at least 1 or 2 older versions to find sources for bugs that didn’t exist before.

@sirbots The best I can do rn is to just have them shoot at random bots anywhere on the map based on the coordinates on both teams, sadly. It’s still better than randomly firing at stuff

@jd131111

We are working on a new way for you to delete old versions of a project.

@info-creaticode Ahh ok, I didn’t think to leave them blank since they’re for coordinates but I see now.

It also makes sense that it only works for the builtin ones. Thank you

@011830-0a42ef84 using databases is a tiny bit tricky, but they are basically just tables with strict/enforced columns with types (like number, string, or date) and allow you to store rows in them. It is pretty transaction based kinda like actual databases. For a leaderboard you just need to create a database for a leaderboard, and to get data from it, just display say around 100 rows where a stat like coins is greatest, if you were to show some leaderboard of users with the most coins.

I’ll let you tinker around with that first and if you still need help then I would like to see your code and I’ll give working code. I do have a project that demonstrates how to use a database, you’ll have to look in the code though, and what it does it just check if a password you enter is the correct password by asking the database for the password and then checking if the inputted password is equal to the password from the database:

the project is in unlisted shared so u can see it
https://play.creaticode.com/projects/66f85f2ce228c74a133e1128


Hopefully my project doesn’t confuse you more, but all you have to do is just change it up and delete the stuff leftover from my challenge thingie. Instead of using the database to store one singular piece of text, you can use it to store multiple rows like a table and in the end, you could use that database to make a leaderboard of your own and shows what you want.

The columns it should be storing are (user id), found in Sensing, and then any variables.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I got it fixed. I just have the bots point at a different target if the coordinates for their current target is the exact same as the player’s cords.

@011830-0a42ef84 Use a widget and make its background transparent (transparency 100% in color picker), and make it a loading symbol, try using ◠ and making it spin with the rotate widget block. This is a no sprite solution and can even be done in the Stage or wherever you choose.

@011830-0a42ef84

Currently there is no code to directly do this. You probably need to calculate their distances and find which one is “too close”

@sirbots Thank you! 😄

@011830-0a42ef84 I think they meant to say you can email it thoruhg your accounts email

@info-creaticode Just go to the Explore page, go to Studios, and scroll down. 2f9eb8d0-2179-41af-a4a4-c3fdc210c0e1-image.png

@jeffreyrb03-gmail ah alright

@info-creaticode It seems to be fixed, probably just my internet, but its odd how it was glitching and wouldnt let me do anything for 5+ hours.

@info-creaticode It shows now. I think why it didn’t show before was because my internet may have been down (because it wouldn’t let me save, either)

@tyller_
You know, 1st person CreatiCode VR games isn’t a bad idea… I might try to build an open-source version. Not in school, of course…

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I realized that those blue boxes appear after playing tutorial, I will try to fix that

@sirbots I created 50 of something (let’s called it “thing1” bc the game I’m making is a secret), 25 of thing2, 12 of thing3, 6 of thing4, 3 of thing5, 1 of thing6, reshuffled the table a few times and pulled the first item out of that table. If that’s what you mean, would you make another table if you have a higher rarity with more rarer things added?

Sorry to hear that. Can you try to reload the page?

Is there a project link that we can look into?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail yeah if you copy a block and edit its name to something invalid it’ll show that, pretty sure any block that actually renders means it does have a texture or something about it defined

@tyller_ I used the wrong operators, and I didn’t have the proper distance variable in the movement scripts.

@c That’s normal, and intended. If you change the cursor to “crosshair” then it will stay crosshair until you change it again. So it’s your responsibility to change the cursor back to the default.

@sirbots

That should be resolved now.

@tyller_

Please give it a try. I would love to hear your feedback. It is always a challenge to know when to give out the answer and when to hold it back, even for human teachers. Our current setting is to make the AI keep providing more hints when the user struggles. Hopefully, that will be good enough for most situations.

@mod-squadacademy Here is the link for the game:
https://forum.creaticode.com/topic/1902/sneak-peak-of-a-game-omg-this-is-so-laggy

@the_true_odst said in Maybe Creaticode knows the issue::

point towards mouse-pointer” is a bit buggy

We’ll look into that.

@info-creaticode Here soon, at the doctor’s rn. I will provide an explanation:

The project which I had shared where the sound blocks were not working, I had made a copy of the original version with all the old code from the main WOC game. The blocks worked just fine.

HOWEVER:

After making some edits, and, moving the song files around, the sound blocks did not work. Reloading the project yielded no Sucess, and making a copy didn’t work as well. Going towards the original copy of the project, it was working just fine. Even making different edits to make it look the same didn’t break the blocks. I made the code for the project, keeping the original code in the sprites holding the songs from the game, then deleted the original code once I had made all the new code. Doing this did not break the blocks EXCEPT in the Stage.

@tyller_ Alr. I will backpack the scripts into a separate project and share it. (I do use the target x/y lists)

@coder0145

In that case, you can use a forever loop to turn the avatar towards the direction of the camera (its “H-Angle” like this:

3472590d-27cb-47e4-a48b-6bee698a4b07-image.png

@flores-yorkshireacademy

If you ask our AI assistant, you should be able to find out the issue:

76181683-5a5f-48aa-804b-28b36b3bdaf4-image.png

Our original example was using “body rotation speed limit”. I guess you picked the wrong block?

@the_true_odst Ok

@The_True_Odst I struggled to understand what you meant at first, but after some re-reading, I can help. So I understand you want to be able to find the decimal number AT any decimal place of any decimal number reliably.
So, decimal places go like
0.0001
(whole number).tenths,hundredths,thousandths,ten-thousandths, hundred-thousandths, millions, etc.

So we know the bold in 0.0001 is thousandths, but we need a program to do that.
We’ll just be saying the number of its place instead, like that’s the third decimal place here (3).

So we need to clean up the number by making it positive (incase its negative), and only focusing on the part after the decimal point, then returning the decimal place based on another input.

Make a reporter custom block with two inputs then put this code into it:
64b4716e-d974-4486-abbb-ae682fd1def9-image.png

It should report the number that exists at a decimal place. So in 0.128456, if you wanted to know the number that resides at thousandths place (3), then you’d do (return decimal place (3) of decimal number (0.128456)) and it would report “8”.

@the_true_odst make it so if they touch it they say something or use print to console. This is how most programmers (allegedly people using languages other than JS dont do this but I still doubt that) debug stuff, you add a bunch of prints to ensure what is broken, like is it the touching detection or the cursor, you dont know becuase if one doesn’t work, the other won’t (if touching doesnt work then the cursor will never change, if the cursor changing doesnt work you wouldn’t know becuase the touching would be trying to use something that’s broken)

@info-creaticode It’s not there anymore, I changed it from a clone to the actual sprite since I couldn’t figure out the bug.

@blackguy-27c5da45 I see it on the search tab:
8508a7e6-956c-42f0-b327-b483819764c8-Screenshot 2025-04-17 11.01.18 AM.png

@info-creaticode I will here soon. I should also mention that there is text showing the prompt for generation in the middle of the screen. That isn’t there anymore. So, it might be that it didn’t store the message or something like that. Maybe some invalid data storing.

@alexanderstevens-62d46173
