How on a variable could I track how far away a different clone (only 1) is is from a clone (Could be 10, or more) (The variable is local so can have a score for each clone).

Hi!

Create a variable called clone_x and clone_y.

In the clone scripts, tell the clone to set clone_x to its x position and clone_y to its y position.

Then, in the original sprite, use:

set [x_dist v] to (((clone_x) - (x position)) * ((clone_x) - (x position)))
set [y_dist v] to (((clone_y) - (y position)) * ((clone_y) - (y position)))
set [Distance v] to ([sqrt v] of ((x_dist) + (y_dist))

That should work - let me know if it doesn't.

I hope this helps!

You'll need to store the x and y position of each clone and use Pythagoras to calculate the distance or have a spare sprite go to each x y position so you can use the ‘distance to sprite’ block to get the distance.

I have this simple code but it only checks distance from original no clones

when green flag clicked
forever 
  set [NM_Rdistance v] to (distance to [Sprite3 v])
end

The sprite it is trying to find the distance to is not a clone, sorry I mislead you but I though I would say this because the code you gave me might now work now.

Here's an example using both methods, and using lists to handle multiple clones: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/194583854

Ah, OK. I was doing it the other way round (ie the sprte works out its distance from the clone rather than the other way round) - yes, your way is way simpler and I probably should've thought of that first!
