how do i detect if a clone is touching itself? i really need this information for my space themed game with a ship building and wiring system

You can set variables to its own sprite (for this sprite only). Set the ID of the variable before the sprite is cloned. When you clone the sprites, they will have its own ID that you set the variable to.

During the check sequence, when the 2 sprites touch, assume to check the ID's of the clones.

You can save the ID's of the clones in a list if needed.

If you're only trying to see whether a clone is touching another clone of the same sprite, then can do something like this:

if <touching (join [NAME OF THE CLONE(SPRITE NAME)] [])  ?> then
code
end

Basically scratch actually lets you detect touching anything if you manage to put the name of the sprite in it (even the same sprite itself), so by putting the join block in there with the clone's sprite name, it can detect other clones of the same sprite.
Just make you write the exact name of the sprite with the correct capitals , and don't put anything in the second box for the join block

If you want just the coordinates.

delete all of [list v]::list
broadcast [get coordinates v]

when I receive [get coordinates v]
add (x position) to [list v]
add (y position) to [list v]

You can also copy the touching sprite block from another sprite.

SpriteA does not appear in the drop down list for the touching block when working on spriteA but it will if working on spriteB. So in spriteB you create the block with spriteA selected in the drop down. You can then copy that to spriteA's coding area and use it there.

Im so confused

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(X) = (x position)> then
change [ v] by (1)
end
end

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(Y) = (y position)> then
change [ v] by (1)
end
end

when green flag clicked
forever
set [ Y] to (y position)
end

when green flag clicked
forever
set [ X] to (x position)
end

when I start as a clone
forever
if <> then
<touching [(join [clone name] [world]) v] ?>
end
end

when I start as a clone
forever
if <touching (join [sprite name here] []) ?> then // hide the original sprite to avoid non-clone collision
...
end

// I think this could work...?

It's nice that you're thanking them, but please don't necropost. It's considered spam.

when this sprite clicked
replace item (<touching [ v] ?> v) of [Clones detect v] with [something else]
