I don't remember exactly how to assign numbers to clones. Can someone tell me? And if there is a way, can someone help me delete clones and assign a previous number that already went (e.g. clone number 2 went off screen and got deleted, and assign the next clone number 1)?

And if this is a repetition of some other forum, I'm sorry, but please send the link to the other one.

Use a “for this sprite only” variable. This way every clone will have their own value, which is the value the original sprite get when creating the clones.

when green flag clicked
set [am I a clone v] to [0] // "for this sprite only"
set [clone ID v] to [0] // "for this sprite only"
. . . {
change [clone ID v] by [1]
create clone of [myself v]
} ::#aaa loop

when I start as a clone
set [am I a clone v] to [1]

Can someone clarify what does the I am a clone variable do?

you need to set it to a local variable, meaning when creating a variable for clones to use, you need to click the for this sprite only. With that, when you create a clone and set the variable for it, the clone has a copy of the variable.

for example I created a variable called clone number (doesn't need to be named this way). if it is a local variable (meaning for this sprite only) clones of the sprite can use it, while other sprites can't. if it's a global variable (meaning for all sprites) the clones can't use it, however other sprites can.


the am I a clone variable is useful for identifying whether a clone or a sprite should execute a message. I'm assuming 0 means false and 1 means true. like in this example:

when I receive [message for sprites only v]
if <(am I a clone?) = [0]> then
move (10) steps
end

in this case if the am I a clone variable is a 1 (meaning that they're a clone) the code above won't execute but if the am I a clone variable is a 0 (meaning that they're not a clone) the code above will execute.

I hope this helped

Thank you. This really helped

But I need to figure out if a clone of a sprite (any clone) is below y -200.
This is what I have so far:

when I start as a clone
forever
if <(am I a clone?)> [-200]> then

end
end

I might be wrong, but I don't know if I am.
Thanks for all the help so far.

yeah, no, that seems pretty wrong. you only need to check the clone's position.

here's the updated script:

when I start as a clone
forever
if <(y position) > [-200]> then

end
end

The thing is that clone's have their own copies of the properties that the sprite has. so changing a y position in a clone will only change the clone's y position and not the sprite's y position.

Thank you very very much.
