certainly! we just need to let scratch know which clone we want to have the costume
for this you can use clone ids. basically you create a local (for this sprite only) variable and change it to something different right before you create a clone. maybe increase it by 1.

then, you can just tell the clone with id of 1 to switch its costume.

when I start as a clone
if <(id) = (1)> then
switch costume to [cow_dancing v]
end

another option is to switch the costume right before you create the clone, then switch it back again. only this one clone will have the special costume, while all the others have the costume of the parent sprite

Since I'm animating each body part as a clone and I want to change the costume of the body for the walking animation…
I'm confused on how to change it now that I've already made the clone.
And, since it's divided in head / body / legs / shoes there's clones after it.

when I start as a clone
if <(id) = (1)> then
forever
switch costume to ([costume # v] of [main sprite v])

both ways it should be pretty easy.
first way: if all the clones have unique ids then you can just code them to do what you want

set [id v] to (0)
repeat (10)
change [id v] by (1)
create clone of [myself v]

when I start as a clone
if <(id) = (1)> then
// let’s pretend this is an arm
forever
do arm stuff :: sensing
end
end
if <(id) = (2)> then
//this could be the legs
forever
switch costume to [walking_1 v]
repeat (10)
next costume
end
end

if you’re using the second method above you should also be fine. just make sure no clones start on the same costume, and replace occurrences of the id variable above with the costume name or costume number reporters.

(in the same way make sure no clones start with the same id. if you’re using a local variable and the change by 1 script above this won’t be a problem)
