No-Clone Deleting

KritzkriegKane

HI all

How am I supposed to make a script which makes things delete themselves (and stop their script temporarily) and make them work/appear again

A lot has to do with who is deciding to delete the clones. If it is something other than the clone, when you create the clone, you should have a variable that contains the “number” of the clone are creating. The clone should store ITS number away in a FOT THIS SPRITE ONLY variable.
In some sprite or stage

set [Clone to delete v] to [8 ]
broadcast [delete clone v]

In clone

when I receive [ delete clone v]
if <(Clone to Delete) = (My Clone ID) > then
    
delete this clone
end

you could use the

hide

block to make them disappear, then use the

show

block to show them

I use it like this:

when green flag clicked
forever
create clone of [myself v]
wait (2) secs
end


when I start as a clone
show
glide (5) secs to x: (0) y: (0)
wait (5) secs
hide
delete this clone

That's how I use for this: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/105987186/

Share your project and it'll be a bit easier to help.

No point hiding the clone if you're deleting it with the next block though.

For some reason the script is still working even tho the thing is gone…

Scripts will still run for hidden sprites but not for deleted clones. Use a variable if necessary to keep track of whether a sprite is visible and only run the loops in the scripts when the variable has the value indicating it is showing.

I don't believe you can get scripts to stop, but you can get them to pause.

wait until <>

stop [this script v]
stop [other scripts in sprite v]
