Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

If you download a project with mesh in it, do you get mesh?

No, you'll have to redo the Mesh edits.

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

Uh... Mesh scripts aren't really different from normal scripts - you just use broadcasts and variables to communicate between Scratch programs. Other than that, the scripts are the same.

I'm going to port ChuChu Rocket! to Scratch, and I'm gonna have it support Mesh. When it comes out, PLEASE play!

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

why is it that one computer works perfectly with mesh, but the other computer does not recognize the variables in the sensor value block? i have done everything to set up mesh, change system browser, shift click share and type in ip's, even the computer that is not working says "remote sensor connections enabled" when i start the program on it. what should i do?
thanks,
tunasushi

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

If you enabled Mesh on both Scratch programs, it should work.  hmm  Are you using the ([ ] sensor value) block on a Scratch program for variables that belong to the same one? Use the normal variable blocks.  wink

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

How do you use the Sensor value block? my variables don't show up where [slider] is. I also don't understand where to use it. Help appreciated!

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

If one Scratch program has a variable, a Scratch program connected to it will see that variable in the ([slider] sensor value) block. Are those conditions met?

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

Oh so they have to be connected to me, while I program it? That makes NO sense.

Also, my IP comes up as localhost when I host a MESH session... No one can connect. I Try my real IP, and that doesn't work either.

Well, how would a Scratch program know about another's variables when it isn't connected to it?

Mesh sessions will only work in your local network - you know, computers next to each other and such. If you want to go further, use a program like Hamachi.

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

Well... that's stupid... I was doing this for the whole point that the game I'm making could be "online" multiplayer... Not get two computers and get the people at my house! I could then just easily program it to one computer to have it multiplayer on one computer.

If you use Hamachi, you can play multiplayer Scratch projects with someone in a different country.

This is Hamachi.
Providing a link to Hamachi would save an inquiring post/Google search, seeing as not everyone knows about it  tongue

Your firewall is blocking Scratch because Scratch is trying to access the network. To let Mesh function properly, unblock Scratch.


Yawn.

Hey Shellscratch, generally on this website, swearing is not allowed. If you'd like to get some help with creating stuff, you might find it useful to create your own topic in "All About Scratch" and politely ask for help, describing the specifics of what you want.
