Hi All,
I am having a problem with deleting clones in a simple single-player ‘Pong’ based game I have written.
The player has to bounce a ball with their paddle in order to bounce the ball off bricks to earn points.
Once hit the block is supposed to disappear with the game continuing until all the bricks are gone.

The bricks are generated as clones at the initialisation phase of the game. The problem comes when
the ball hits one of the bricks. The system deletes ALL of the clones instead of just the one brick that was hit.
I am using the ‘Delete this clone’ control block in the ‘Block’ sprite script with the script called by a broadcast
message ('Block Hit') from the ‘Ball’ sprite.

I have tried different browsers with no luck and inserting some debug code to monitor the activity of the delete
block script has shown that the ‘Block’ clone delete script loops repeatedly and deletes every block with the first
call to the delete script. Basically the one delete clone script is looping 10 times (in this case) with the first
call.

I suspect that if I haven't made a mistake that there is a glitch in the Scratch runtime environment.

I would appreciate a more experienced person's assistance if possible so it can be escalated to the Scratch team
as necessary.

Thanks in advance.

you have to put it in the “WHen i start as clone” part

scratch :: hat variables
imagine :: sensing
program :: sound
share :: control

Hi Lightthefox,
Sorry you need to be a little more specific. Put what into the “When I start as a clone” part?

Hi captaingrumpy,

Can you provide a link to the project? That would greatly help us to identify your problem

Thanks,
Chiroyce

if you use a broadcast, the broadcast sends whatever is being broadcasted to ALL clones. in order to do just 1,

basically, insert delete code into when start as clone. hopefully i explained clearly (i ahve to put here since i dont use forums often and im new to this block forum thing)

when I start as a clone
forever
if <touching [ Ball] ?> then
delete this clone
end
end

Hi epicboi17,

Thanks for that. I was clueless until you told me that broadcasts hit all clones simultaneously..
I have now got it working.

You're a champ!
