I heard somewhere that clones in Scratch 3 can now detect other clones of the same sprite, but how is that possible? I mean, detection by color is always viable but I just want to know this new method. Thanks!

In Scratch 2 the ‘touching sprite’ block would always be true if you told sprite A (or a clone) to check for touching itself. Now it is only true if the sprite/clone is touching another clone of the same sprite.

Well that's neat, but how would that be possible?

When using the block below…

<touching [ v] ?>

it's impossible for the clone to be able to detect itself, as the option for the sprite is not there.

go into another sprite and set it, then copy it over

i havent tested this but it would be like

<touching [<<> and <>><touching color [#e07baf] ?> v] ?>

Yep, that's the method. Sprite B will include sprite A in the list and you can copy the block across.
