Hi,

Create a variable and give it a name like “Cloned?” and select “For This Sprite Only”. Set it to 0 at the start and whenever the clones are deleted/reset.

Then, in the “When x key is pressed” script, put if cloned? = 0, create a clone of myself and set cloned? to 1. Don't put an else, but MAKE SURE IT CLONES BEFORE IT SETS CLONED? TO 1!

And that's it!

I Hope This Helps!

That would only ever create a clone one time. I think that if you are using variables, you should make a “For this Sprite Only” variable s you mentioned, called “cloned?” and then do:

Now, put the if statement as you suggested, and I think that would do it.

Hi,

No - Every time you pressed ‘X’ it would go from 1 clone to 2 and 3 and 4 one by one - As long as you clone BEFORE setting Cloned? to 1, and I think the problem is that in his/her project, the original is cloned, then the original and the clone is cloned etc., so you end up having 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and so on clones rather than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.

Oh, I get it, each time a clone is created, it becomes responsible for creating the next clone. Must say that's a very clever method.

Thanks - I Came Across It Trying To Fix A Game I Made, But I Ended Up Scrapping The Project Because There Were About 100 Clones Even After The Fix (And My Computer Wanted To Explode)

In the new update when something is cloned, the clones also duplicate. How do I make where I can just duplicate the original sprite?

I feel as though there may be some very obvious answer that I just can't figure out, but how do I continuously create only one clone? Example:
I have a script that says “When x key is pressed, create clone of myself” The first time I do it, it's fine. I go from 1 to 2 objects. But when I do it again, it goes from 2 to 4. Is there any way to make it so it only makes one copy each time? Please help!
