Variables, variables!

It is really annoying working with variables! They never stay! I made a variable show if you click something. I set the variable to slider mode. But every time I work on the project a different time, it changes back to normal readout! Please help! (And I tried saving it with it the way I want, but it didn't work.)

Sorry, I don't know what to tell you. It doesn't do that for me.

Re: Variables, variables!

You have to save the project with all the variables showing. You can hide them when flag clicked, but they have to be showing on save. It's actually not a glitch, believe it or not. In the coding of Scratch, it's meant to only save variable position if it is showing. This is I suppose a way to cut down on the project saving (some projects have more than 100 variables not showing!) but they didn't take into account the fact that sometimes they are not showing when you save.

Yes, what LS97 said and if they look ugly put a big picture on top of it like I did for Polka's Big Adventure.
