I'm making a Tower Defense game at the moment, and every time I try it, my “when I start as a clone” scripts don't respond to clones being created.
Here are the scripts on imgur, any idea what's wrong?

You need to share the project rather than give us an image to try to read.

In what way are the scripts not responding - do the clones get created but not do anything or not appear? (If you create a clone and it is touching red it will get deleted straight away after changing Cash.

repeat until <(item (i) of [types v]) = [n]> 

Is n a variable name? If so you can't use it in such a manner. It's a comparison with a string “n”.

It's difficult to debug a picture. IMO thing are happening but too fast for you to see. There are no wait blocks in your code. Your clone moves through the maze and gets deleted without you noticing. Personally when I want to debug a “non responding” script I put some say or ask blocks to make sure the script has run.

Originally, that was supposed to be left blank so the script would stop repeating once it found an empty place on the lists, but an empty space wasn't working for some reason. When I left it blank, it would produce the sprites normally, but once it was done it would just spam out hundreds upon hundreds.

It's based on this page, but as I mentioned, leaving it blank wasn't working:

Yes, that's right. The clones get created but nothing appears. If I click on the ‘When I start as a clone’ button to activate them manually, they appear.

I tried that, to no avail.
And to all of you who are helping, I don't know why I don't like sharing projects, but I don't.. I will if I have to, though.

So they're probably being deleted - perhaps because the sprite is in a different position when the project is running and they're touching red immediately. However it's impossible to diagnose without being to run the project.

Thanks all for helping me figure this out, I just did. It's the script saying if the costume # is 1 then delete the clone, they're all getting deleted immediately.

Critics call it “The cleaner, slicker version of the mistake that was Windows 8”.
