I have a game where every clone of a sprite can trigger a game over screen. But the problem is every time a sprite touches the edge in my game a 5 second sound plays. I want to make it that it play only once but i want to keep the visual of the game. For some reason the enemies aren't stopping. My code is a MESS so even I cannot figure this out. Can someone help me? (I even made a 2 phase game over action that dosen't work)

you didn't link your game

Not very optimal, but you can make a “playing” variable and stop the clones from broadcasting game over like this.

. . .
if <(<touching [edge v]> + (PLAYING)) = (2)> then
    broadcast [skill issue v]
    set [PLAYING v] to (0)
end
. . .

In the sprite that plays the sound, put this.

when I receive [skill issue v]
play sound [game over v] :: sound
. . .
