I'm having some issues with clones not being deleted as they need to be.
The character fires shots from a gun, and the shots are supposed to be deleted on contact with an enemy. Instead, the enemy clone is deleted but the bullet keeps moving. I don't understand why it's doing this, because the shots are deleted on contact with edges as well, and that part works fine. I have no idea if this is just a bug, or if it's something I did in the coding, but it's frustrating and I can't seem to find a solution.
Here's what the script looks like. (Hope the Scratch blocks work, it's my first time using them.)

when I start as a clone
show
go to [ sprite 1]
point towards [ mouse]
repeat until <touching edge or touching zombie>
move (3) steps
end
delete this clone

If possible could you post the link to the project so that I can experiment with it and check if anything is wrong. Thanks

Sure, Here's the link.

Aha! I think this is because the zombies are deleted first, so the clones never touch the zombies as the script in the zombie sprite runs first.
this should fix it!

when I receive [delete enemy v]
wait (0) secs
delete this clone

when I start as a clone
go to [ sprite1]
point towards [mouse-pointer]
repeat until <<touching [edge] ?> or <touching [enemy] ?>>
move (3) steps
if <<touching [edge] ?> or <touching [enemy] ?>> then
broadcast [delete enemy]
delete this clone
end

end

when I receive [delete enemy]
wait (0.1) secs
delete this clone

AND that's the solution!

(The delete enemy script is put in the enemy sprite)

2nd POST!

Oops didn't relize Chiroyce already posted it, but whatever.
