So what I have is two sprites. Sprite1 stays in one spot and is hidden, but it creates clones of itself and these clones move around the screen until they touch the edge then they delete themselves. Now I have sprite2 creating a clone for every sprite1 clone and the clones need to always go to the X and Y of the sprite1 clones. I think the best way to do this is to use lists. I have two lists, one for the X position of the sprite1 clones, and one for the Y position of the sprite1 clones. Every time a clone of sprite1 is created it needs to add its X position to the X list and the Y to the Y list, also constantly updating them. The X and Y data for one clone on the lists need to be deleted if the clone is deleted. Then every time sprite2 starts as a clone it finds an X and Y on the lists that another sprite2 clone is not following and constantly goes to it. So for example, if ten clones of sprite1 are created then there should be 10 slots on each list (X and Y) that are constantly updating. Then ten sprite2 clones are created and they need to each constantly go to a different X and Y on the lists then the other clones. First question: will this work? XD Second question: can anyone help me? lol

I think I know how to do it.
Here's a tip:
You need a self made block where you give every clone a different ID (by using a counter variable which changes by 1 when a clone is created).
Does the tip help or should I create a project with my solution?

Sure, I'll help (And you're right about using lists). I'll leave a link when its done!


EDIT: Instead of using 2 lists for X and Y positions, you can use just 1.

Do you mean using the self made blocks with the list solution that I talked about? Because I want to use the list solution in my project. (sorry I didn't see this post until now)

Thanks! How is it possible to use just one list for the X and Y? o.O

I mean that you have a block with a number input (the clone “ID”/the spot in the list he uses) so the clone can set his position in the list(s). I hope that was clear enough

It's somewhat complicated to explain in the forums, but when I finish the project, I'll leave a comment in it so you can see.

EDIT: Done! The link is: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/21229709/. Hope it works for you!
