Clone XY position

Yeorgi3

I am working on a cell direction decider, and for that, I need to have the XY position for each individual clone. How do I set clone specific variables to track the XY position?

deck26

Each clone has it's own x and y position variable. If you need to pass that to other sprites the easiest option is to have a local cloneID variable so each clone can be identified and you can store its position in x and y lists.

Please elaborate, I am having the same problem.

To give each clone it's own ID use a local (this sprite only) variable.

hide      // don't use the sprite, just the clones
set [cloneID v] to [1 ]
repeat (5)                    // we'll create 5 clones at once but don't have to do it this way 
create clone of [myself v]
change [cloneID v] by [1]    
end


when I start as a clone
show         // assuming we want clones to show at this point
replace item (cloneID) of [xlist  v] with (x position)

Obviously the xlist has to contain enough items before you can use replace. You can then replace the xlist value with the x position whenver it changes (so a loop or do it when the value changes). You'd probably want the y values as well.

first create a variable

(cloneID)

second create two lists one for Xpos and one for Ypos

(Xclone :: list)

(Yclone :: list)

then

when green flag clicked
set [cloneID v] to [0 ]
hide
repeat (number of clones to create)
change [cloneID v] by (1)
go to x: (x position desired) y: (y position desired)
insert (x position) at ((cloneID)) of [  (Xclone :: list)]
insert (y position) at ((cloneID)) of [  (Yclone :: list)]
create clone of [ myself or the sprite you want v]
and so...
end

Would the clone tracking work for a tower defence game?

Yes, it would work fine. You actually responded to a thread that ended over two years ago though. If you have any more questions about this, you should really start your own (new) thread.

Oh…Ok thanks though!!!

Wait,but this only takes note of the starting position of clones. I'd want a constant note of their position to be able to do things like…say… “Go to this clone” just like i would do “go to this sprite”

I suggest you create your own topic. This topic is old.

I need help with listing the clone's x and y, while replacing the old x with the new x, and replacing the old y with the new y!

Make your own topic instead of posting on an old one

I'm sorry for the necropost, but you can now use these blocks

 (x position) (y position)

to get the X & Y position of that clone. (if these are put inside of a “when i start as a clone” block)

I know this is old (most posts are lol) but I usually come up with some mumbo jumbo and end up getting it to work, in this game: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/377582701/editor I use it to keep track of their health using their ID and positions
