I understand now, but why would they want a higher clone limit if they wouldnt be using 12849213599 clones

RIP MY COMPUTER IF THAT HAPPENS

You can ‘use’ clones without continually having them do intensive things.

For example, just moving 301 clones around the screen is no problem.

If you only change the costume/size/direction/effects for the clones every so often, then it's also no problem.


But it's so easy in Scratch to make the mistake of telling clones (or any sprite, for that matter) to do anything & everything all the time (even when not necessary, because it's already set to the costume/size/direction/effect you wanted), so there's a clone limit to avoid that causing too much trouble.

THAT is why we arent allowed to have infinate clones

Eh, it kind of depends on your device specs. I have an Intel i3 core and I can put a few thousand blocks down without lag.

So you're saying we should get a fancy computer just so we can have 3829334287 clones in a project? Without the clone limit, I think every computer will crash at some point.

As mentioned by others, the limit is there to fight lag. I don't support as the limit's likely higher than you would ever need, and plus you can just duplicate the original sprite with the cloning scripts inside it.

when green flag clicked
grass :: custom

define grass
repeat (30000) 
  go to [random position v]
  create clone of [myself v]
end

when I start as a clone
forever 
  turn cw (10) degrees
  wait (pick random (0.05) to (0.5)) secs
  turn cw (-10) degrees
  wait (pick random (0.5) to (0.5)) secs
