messages.shift() is what does it however with enough messages this can eventually break your project without a limiter if you aren't a strong programmer to begin with i advise against this

    Fluffypoopo it was because I posted it on discussions rather than question... my bad oops

    Varrience I am thinking of limiting it by time on there so after like a day or two it will disappear.. its a small chatroom for only my friends.

          ah, i see well mess around with it for a bit and see how it turns out, you may also want a way to pause current messages from loading when looking at older messages because it will most likely move them every time someone posts something new.... you also have to account for how many messages you want to render at a time CDO's draw calls are limited! so saving those draw calls pretty much boosts performance drastically i would most likely go with 10 at a time though you could do more depending on how you do it otherwise it will be a nightmare for how you want your messages to archive, for removing messages by time there should be an occasional loop that checks around every 10 seconds or so to delete any messages based passed the time limit by subtracting the current time from the message time then deleting it if it exceeds the threshold. it'll be a lot of work is what i am trying to say for it to run optimally

            Varrience that is true. Maybe instead of a scroll feature I could save more text to an array rather than drawing a million text boxes, and just shift the text around. This could make it so it still saves the info while saving on draw space… idk how this would affect code.org though, but I feel this is the best solution CPU and Server wise. Though me being only in my 3rd year of coding may just not be seeing something here…

                Thx I’ll mess around with this and try to get it to work

                I will also maybe experiment on this as well. Let's see what happens.

                Every time I say experiment I always just imagine myself in a science lab experimenting with my beakers and flasks. My imagination is actually very interesting.
