That experiment proves it

How? The number of clones allowed is across the whole project so if you hit the limit your new sprite wil also stop cloning.

But you said that the number of clones allowed is 300. I started doing the debugging process I already deleted all the other sprites that created clones and the bug still occurs. The number of clones at the same time doesn't even reach 50, so that can't be the problem



Also is the limit 300 clones ever created or existing at the same time? Cause I have my clones delete themselves when they are not needed anymore.

Do the already deleted clones still count for the limit or do they not?

You have thousands of blocks across 75+ sprites. That is just too much to expect someone to help here. I think you have to try my suggestion of producing a simpler copy.

Don't worry, I am not expecting someone to magically fix it. I am aware that it's impossible for someone who sees my project for the first time to do.

I just posted this question hoping that someone would recognize the issue, so that I know what I'm supposed to fix.

But like I said even though I deleted all sprites that could possibly make clones the bug still occurs and I am really surprised to see it.

Create a custom block in each sprite to decrease a global counter variable and then delete the clone. Use that wherever you currently have ‘delete this clone’. Similarly add a new ‘when I start as clone’ script to every sprite which increases the same variable by 1. Assuming you don't miss any that is the only sure way to track the number of clones. You may have given it conditions to delete clones but you don't know they've been deleted.

I'd be very surprised if you don't find you're creatign more clones than you think you are. At that stage you could add a separate counter and try counting separately for one sprite at a time. Make sure you use global variables for these test variables.

Oh my God I'm such a dummy-dum-dum! The problem indeed was with the clone limit. You were right! I looked in the wrong place, the problem was that one time when I was trying to reduce the number of sprites, I made one sprite clone itself once at the very beginning, so that I wouldn't have to have 2 sprites that did basically the same thing. When I noticed that it didn't make a difference, I changed it back to normal, created the other sprite, but forgot to remove the “create a clone” block from the other one, yet removed everything else! So it was making infinite clones! Haha


Thank you so so much! Without you I would have lost all hope a long time ago ! Thank you thank you thank you for your help!!!!

It is now working again!

If clones create OK and then don't it can only be because a script has stopped running or the limit has been reached. The limit is far more often the cause so it's just a case of convincing the coder that that is the case!

Thank you for your help and insane patience! I'm so glad you're here to help us

Incidentally I noticed in one sprite you had

That should never be necessary. Either you're changing rotation style or you're not. If not this can be set in the sprite and forgotten about. If it does change you're setting up a conflict and either shouldn't be changing it or shouldn't be resetting it forever!

You have too many forever loops as it is without having something like that.

By any chance, are you trying to spawn unlimited clones? Scratch has a limit of 100 clones. I can't load the project, scratch throws an error.

*the limit is 300 per project.

Why flame in my project not spawn even if there is 0 clones

Oh i fixed it

Please make your own topic instead of necroposting on an old one if you find another problem.

my project only haves about 63 clones. then why couldn't i delete the clones?

I just had the same thing on my game, but at the VERY start there is a piece of code that clones ONCE when you press the flag, and it just doesn't work. Neither does cloning for the rest of the game.

I made a project which is still unshared but when I make a certain amount of clones sometimes the clones don't spawn even if most of them are deleted.

soo aNnOyInG pls help
