Trouble with the broadcast block. (I'm bad at coding but I'm trying to code without tutorials)

Sekomek

I use a code for generating squares:

define (without screen refresh):
show
go to x: y:
repeat until touching color (basically I have a grey line at the bottom of the project so it stops):
I repeat :
I I create a clone of myself
I I change x by
I I________I
I set x to
I change y by
I____________________________________________________________________________I
hide
stop this script

I made a code where every -32 in y the player moves 32 up and sands a signal “up” so the squares move up and a new layer generates. If you run the code manualy it works but when you put it in a "when i recieve " block it breaks (clones go up to the 300 limit and the block is just moving, swiching lanse up and down):

when i recieve
show
go to x: y:
repeat :
I create a clone of myself
I change x by
I________I
set x to
change y by

Important to note the squares and the player are 32 by 32 cubes

(Probably deleting this later)

I wanted to say that the computer science books from this year (yes im 13) recently stopped working do to this broadcast block

Could you share the project?

Can you please convert this to scratch blocks? Like this for example

when green flag clicked
if <using text to describe code> then
broadcast [cant read v]
end

Just hit that little blue block icon in that bar at the top, you can also use the check to get a preview of that code, to display a comment in the code just use a //

change x by () 
end
set x to ()
change y by ()

Okay, common problem here, easy solution, just put the entire block into something like this and have every clone set the id variable to 1 when they spawn

when I start as a clone
set [Id v] to [1]//this basically gives a way to differentiate between clones and the original sprite. 
//You can also have the id set to a different number under specific conditions to make it so you can give specific clones unique processes



if <(id) = [0]> then //set id to for this sprite only and have the main sprite set it to 0 at the start
 
 //insert your entire script in this (if) block, do this for both the custom block and the broadcast block, this will prevent the clones from creating other clones

This should work, if it doesn’t then please tell me! Im happy to help out.

P.S. i can tell by the code you are making a system that fills a specific area with a grid of squares, nice job with it, most of the time when i see code like that it is not very efficient but you did great!

It worked, thank you very much, I couldn't have done it without your help. I realise that I have a lot to learn from other people.

Your welcome, i am happy to help as much as possible, great thing about this is every bug and issue you fix, you get better at coding because your less likely to make that mistake again in the future. So keep coding, your doing great

Usually when this happens, it's with clones. When you broadcast something, it does it for the OG Sprite and the clones. When you use a custom block, it only does it for whichever sprite used the block. Instead, I suggest to use a custom block with “Run without screen refresh” on.
