Hello. I need a script that sets a cloned sprite to a certain x position. However, the clone is going to have an identity variable to use in a list that determines that x position of said clone. I'll show you:

Any ideas? Thanks.

I'll try to explain a little better. It's long, so bear with me.
Let's say there are two clones, let's call them Clone 1 and Clone 2.
I want Clone 1 to spawn at x:70 and y: 20 and move to an x of 110. But, I want Clone 2 to spawn at x:20 and y:-50 and move to an x of 60.
Is there anything I can do? (I'm sure you have to use lists.)
P.S. Is has to work with more than just 2 enemies.

What you have looks close enough assuming id is set properly. The script also assumes the clone is pointing in the right direction initially.

I think I remember seeing a project about this somewhere… …I think it was called “Clone control” or something. Try creating a variable and click “For this sprite only.” It should work with clones as well. For example:

then use something like:

What you want is probably:

Sorry for late reply.
Anyways, how do I set the id properly? I forgot to tell you, there's another part. This involves the spawning sprite:

Is there a way to cause the spawning sprite to select the id, and use the same id variable in this script:

Ba-da-Bump.

I just thought of something! A combination of me and DrummerCat's ideas:

I'll see if this works.

This should work if all the variables are local to the sprite. However I wouldn't make the list a local one as it will be duplicated unnecessarily to all the clones.

I don't understand. I made the list exclusive to the sprite. Could you be more specific? Thanks.

Only the sprite itself is using any of the lists in your script - the appropriate item gets loaded into a local variable which is what the clone then uses. But each clone also has a copy of all those local lists which is inefficient when the clones don't need them. Whether it makes any difference depends on the project but it is potentially confusing and could slow things down.

DONT KNOW WHAT I COULD DO

So… how do I fix this? Help would be appreciated.
(I used the lists to shorten the script a lot, otherwise it would have been MUCH longer.)

Just make the lists global rather than local is enough.

Okay, I'll try that.
