I am trying to make a tower defense and i need to use the x and y position of a clone but i cant figure it out. Here is my code

add (x position) to [list v]

add (y position) to [list v]

But it is only using the sprite's x and y position, not any of the clone's

Have you got these inside the “when I start as a clone” section?

you gotta have it inside the clone

create clone of [myself v]
add (x position) to [list v] //this is wrong

meanwhile:

create clone of [myself v]

when I start as a clone
add (x position) to [list v] //this is correct

one thing to note, is that if you're adding their positions onto the list constantly, the list will grow constantly, and the same values won't be updated.
wouldn't it make more sense to use the

replace item ( v) of [list v] with [thing]

block?

so that if your clone has the id of 5, the 5th value will always be updated with the X?

Thank you so much, ive been at it for such a long time

Edit: this for some reason is only taking the x and y of the original and not any of the clones

ok then, do

when I start as a clone
forever
delete (all v) of [list v]
add (x position) to [list v]
add (y position) to [list v]
end

Is the list itself “for all sprites”? Otherwise each clone will have a copy no other sprite can access.

Yes, the list is all sprites, for exactly the reason you say. Otherwise you can't get the clones to report.

Bad idea - only one clone's data will ever be in the lists.

I think you need to share the project so we can see what you're doing.

oops use ids then

Yo I cant thank yall enough This time it worked for real

if <chat helpful> then
say [Thank you]
end

Sadly i have another problem
i need to find the nearest clone's distance to another clone but its taking the original sprite and not the nearest clone any help?
I Need to use this block:

(distance to [ v Nearest Enemy Clone])

yea ur gonna need some algorithmic thinking for that, literally the best way is to brute force through every combination of 2 clones

why would you NEED to use that block?

I found an equation using that block that makes my projectile arc but i cant with any other block. this is the equation:

repeat (41)
change x by ((round (distance to [Enemy Clone])) / (41))
change y by (Y Velocity)
end

Unless any of you know a work around
