when green flag clicked
forever
create clone of [ myself]
end

when I start as a clone
wait (0.15) secs

delete this clone



This is the code I used on my platformer. I wanted to make a cool clone effect behind the character like most popular platformers do. I used that script above and it seemed to work fine, but after about 5 min it started to sputter out and the clones just disappeared entirely.

Change it to:

when I start as a clone
forever
wait (0.15) secs
delete this clone
end

I don't know if this will work, but try putting a wait 0.001secs block in the loop that is making the clones

The problem might be because of Scratch's 300 clone limit. If the clones aren't deleting themselves, then once the amount has reached the maximum no more clones will be produced.

What's the point of that - the clone can only delete itself once.

As already stated this is almost certainly the 300 clone limit. If you're deleting clones of this sprite are you cloning another? The limit is 300 clones in the project, not 300 of each sprite.

Thank you everybody I think I was able to solve my problem Message me a link to whatever project you want on my profile and I will advertise it on my new platformer!

How do I fix that and this is now my new code.

when green flag clicked
set size to (100) %
forever
create clone of [myself v]
end

when I start as a clone
switch costume to [3 v]
repeat (10)
change [ghost v] effect by (10)
change size by (-5)
delete this clone

end

someone please help me fix this ive messed up some how and now it only spawns a few clones ive tryed every thing even creating a block
