i am trying to make a sort of limbs kinda thing but i have absolutely no idea how get my second clone to got to my first's top. so i added a darker colour at the top of the second clone but the script i have now:

repeat until <<touching color [#816212] ?> and <not <touching color [#816212] ?>>>
go to [random position v]

end

doesnt really work.
anyone know a workaround for

go to [ <colour>]

There is no block for that.

You could do what you did, just put it in a function and run it without screen refresh.

define go to color
//run without screen refresh
repeat until <touching color(color :: #969696) ?>
go to [random position v]
end

thx

If you want it to go to the first occurrence and be efficient, do this with a 1 pixel costume with a transparent shape around it to make it go offscreen:

define go to color (color)
go to x: (-240) y: (180)
repeat until <touching color (color)?>
 change x by (1)
 if <(x position) > (240)> then
  change y by (-1)
  set x to (-240)
 end
 if <(y position) < (-180)> then // failsafe
  go to x: (0) y: (0)
  stop [this script v]
 end
end

note: untested

Like @The_Imaginarium said, there's no good way of doing this. This script will work in theory, but depending on the size of your color splotch, the sprite could go pretty much anywhere on the stage, as long as it was touching the color. Also, I wouldn't use this in a big game; depending on how you use it a No Screen Refresh repeating constantly like that could wreak havoc on your game's playability due to lag.

I'd suggest using lists or variables to store data. <color> blocks are hard to work with at best, and buggy at worst (different OSs show colors differently).

Looking closer at your problem, I'd suggest a different approach. The fix to about EVERY kind of clone problem is to just give each clone it's own ID.

Give clones IDs by doing this:

when green flag clicked
set [cloneID v] to [0]//for this sprite only
repeat [10]//number of clones here
change [cloneID v] by (1)
create clone of [myself v]
...
end

when I start as a clone
if <(cloneID) = [1]> then
go to x[] y[]
end
if <(cloneID) = [2]> then//you could use "else" blocks, but just "if" is easier to read and edit.
go to x[] y[]
end
...

That lets you move each clone to it's own position and do it's own stuff.
