NOT TRUE, say you have millions of clones, you would only be able to delete ONE, so support.
millions of clones isn't possible on scratch
Okay, maybe it was a slight exaggeration.
neither is thousands

Okay, maybe I was also slightly understating that.

And does that really work for only one sprite??

Here's a thing you don't realize until you do:

Clones can recieve broadcasts

Okay yeah I knew but that's kinda weird LOLL, and I'm not sure most people would know.

bump for 4 dupes of delete all clones

There is an ancient workaround, since clones were a thing, or Scratch 1.0, the first public Scratch version.

when I receive [delete v]
delete this clone

scratchyGabby6

delete [all clones v] :: control :: stack

delete [this clone v] :: control :: cap

This would remove the hassle of making a new message and repeating the same function across different sprites.
This workaround seems to be the hassle that everyone tries to use, a single block for this would definitely help.

I think you mean a different version??
1.x didn’t have clones, but 2.0 did.
Though yeah, that workaround is correct.

I agree and I support your post! This is very simple and less confusing if a single block is added instead of an entire SCRIPT!

Support! Not such a bad idea and might be useful! But there should be something else added though.

Just:

delete this clone

But you can only do this if the blocks arent connected to a

when I start as a clone

Block, so if your using it in a clone then:

when I start as a clone
broadcast [delete all clones v]
when I receive [delete all clones v]
delete this clone

I believe using a broadcast in all sprites is good 'nough but I find myself wanting to use less blocks, thus…

ah an 8 year old topic

Honestly 2013 doesn't even feel close to that.
Also, this post is apparently 2 years old, so.. that means 2013 was 10 years ago.. HOW

This is still a relevant suggestion.
Anyway, bringing this topic up because I saw someone suggesting this.

Also, many people don't realize that clones can actually receive broadcasts.
