Is clone block
I know there are workarounds but that just clutters up the variables list.
when I receive [Notification v]
if <not <Is clone? :: control>> then
set [NotifBroadcast v] to (NotifContent)
create clone of [myself v]
end
when this sprite clicked
if <Is clone? :: control> then
broadcast (NotifBroadcast)
end

1st of all, dupe (but im not gonna go into this partt as im bad at finding dupes and is too lazy to do so)
secondly, the workaround only takes up 2 variables, and can be useful for way more stuff, not to mention there is a simple workaround that doesn't require a single variable, that is, the “when I start as a clone” block exists, while only the original sprite would run the “when green flag clicked” block

(No support)
The workaround is simple. Create a local variable called “is clone” and every time a clone is created, have the clone set the variable to “true” or “1”.

In scratch blocks:
when green flag clicked
set [ is clone?] to [false] //make sure this variable is set to “this sprite only”
Do stuff
when I start as a clone
set [is clone?] to [true]
Do stuff

I already know the workaround. I'd just prefer a dedicated block

clones can get glitchy. while this is unlikely to happen, there is a 0.001% chance that it could register as false instead of true for whatever reason, lag or something.I already know the workaround. I'd just prefer a dedicated blockwhy tho

1 variable honestly isn't a lot.
I could find this:

No support, I'd go for a clone id block instead.Anyway, this suggestion, and a clone id would be a duplicate.

There is a simple way to do this!
when green flag clicked
set [Am I a clone? v] to [0] // Make sure this variable is 'for this sprite only', otherwise this won't work.
create clone of [myself v]
broadcast [broadcast that only works for clones v]
when I start as a clone
set [Am I a clone? v] to [1]
when I receive [broadcast that only works for clones v]
if <(Am I a clone?) = [1]> then
say [I am a clone!] for (2) secs
end
