So I have this +100 sprite project which literally glitches the scratch engine and makes scripts randomly stop after the first interaction involving a key input. I tried removing like 60% of the game's content which makes the remaining game function normally. Is there any way of fixing this issue without an “insert disc 2”-type solution which I would much like to avoid?

Also, in case I were to do the ol' “insert disc 2” (where the different discs would have to be different projects), is there any way of conveniently transferring player data from one project to the other, some kind of cookies for scratch users so that people wouldn't have to copy and paste a long code?

Any help appreciated!

Also try to use less sprites, I am sure clones could be helpful for you in some cases.

For the first solution, try to only limit yourself to one update (or forever loop) per sprite. There's not much to say other than “optimize it”

As for an “insert disc 2” solution, I would backpack the player sprite and whatever handles player data (plus the save), and move everything essential that's always in the game (such as a dialogue system). Then feel free to move whatever else you want back there. I would also prevent the player from playing unless their save has reached a certain point of progress.

Turbowarp is also helpful for testing if you aren't already using that.

Regarding the “insert disc 2” solution, you know any way I could have user data transferred between the different projects without the user having to actively copy and paste a save code?

there's no way to do that unfortunately

create clone of [ v]
if <clone id = 3> then
broadcast [ v]

Thing is, I've been doing this a lot, but it's kind of hard for npcs who are on screen at the same time.

There is, but it's inconsistent and temporary data, rather than permanent. It uses the translate extension, but i don't know too much about it and can't explain it here.
