Save point help!
Cloud vars allow ony digits, no space is allowed.
When you save numbers to a cloud var, you can “pack them” in a big number.
The problem is to read them back easily.
One easy solution is to make each number havin a fixed size.
For instance age of people could go from 0 to 99 years.
Levels can go from 0 to 999.
So, it is more easy to:
store 100 + age because this will always take 3 digits (100 to 199)
store 1000 level because this will always take 4 digits (1000 to 1999)
When you glue both numbers, for instance 1231876, this means that:
the letters 2 and 3 is the age and
the letters 5,6 and 7 is the level.
That's it.

The code isn't cloud though, so that's why spaces DO work but the lvl one is broken
