Could somebody please make a mod that ups the clone limit?

FormulaFanboyYT

Title is self-explanatory. A mod for Scratch 3 that either removes or increases the clone limit by a decent amount.

Also, any way to upload multiple extensions when using this converter? https://sheeptester.github.io/words-go-here/htmlifier/
My project already has an extension and I wish to be able to have more than one.

Thanks in advance!

Hold on a second, why the heckers is a constant value a function?!?! Doesn't javascript have constant values for a reason? Surely having it be a function that does nothing but return a number is a bit silly?

This strange practice is used in multiple places in Scratch source code for some reason.
EDIT: Maybe it's because it's inside a class and classes can currently only contain functions?

Nope, you can do

class Test{
}
Test.variable="hi";
console.log(Test.variable==="hi") //true

Thank you for this help! However, I'm not all too experienced in this sort of thing; how would I go about adding this to scratch? And keep in mind that I need it to still work when converting it to HTML using SheepMaker's converter (https://sheeptester.github.io/words-go-here/htmlifier/)

This guide should help. But you would probably also need to modify the HTMLifier…

That was true; properties would have to be set in the constructor, and static properties can be set outside the class as shown by DontClickThisPlease. Using a getter keeps everything inside the class declaration, I'm guessing

However, since JavaScript has class fields now, they could now simply do

class Wow {
  static CONSTANT = 4
}
console.log(Wow.CONSTANT) // 4

though it might be a bit too new for them

- Sheep_maker This is a kumquat-free signature. :P
This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }

What's stopping functions inside `Wow` accessing CONSTANT via `this.CONSTANT` within functions? Then you can avoid getters, no?

So how would I make an HTML using the HTMLifier that can ditch the clone limit, or increase it to something much higher (like, say, 1500)? Really all that matters is that I have it working in the converted HTML, as well as having an extension loaded. How should I do this? Bare in mind that I am on a Windows PC.

Oof, that guide looks very linux based, and sadly I'm on Windows 10. Also, about modifying the HTMLifier, how would I do that? Wouldn't sheep_maker have to do that, or is there some way I can make a temporary change or something?

Why does it look linux based? Command Prompts exists on Windows, all four commands (git, cd, npm and yarn) exist on Windows in one form or another. There's no real indication it's aimed at Linux, more that it needs you to use a command line, which existed before Linux (and maybe Unix, I'm not sure exactly about the chronology of the first operating system that could use a terminal?)

Hey, I was able to do it! I downloaded the HTMLifier as an HTML, opened it in notepad and changed the clone limit from 300 to 1500. Thank you all so much!

If anyone in the future has this problem, let me know and I can send you the HTML file with the higher clone limit (or really any limit you desire).

Most parts of Scratch can only be built on Linux (or in WSL).
