why wont my projects not work for example :

CodedShadow2

When space pressed, create a clone of block, when i start as a clone: show, go to mouse pointer, doesn't work anymore due to scratch only letting you create 4 - 11 clones, please bring this back scratch

deck26

The clone limit is 300 but if you press space each clone is creating another clone so they're multiplying quickly.

CodedShadow2

good point but it creates 1 clone when i press space so i'm confused a lot

deck26

But is the space pressed script in the sprite's area? If so what happens is

press once - sprite creates 1 clone
press again - both sprite and clone create a clone
press again - 4 objects create 1 clone each
press again - 8 objects create 1 clone each
and so on

CodedShadow2

nope didn't work

deck26

Share the project then please!

Or, try just telling the clone to go to a random position - I think you'll see far more clones than you expect.

CodedShadow2

how do i fix it?

deck26

Get another sprite to create the clones - sprite A can respond to the space key and create a clone of sprite B.

CodedShadow2

when key pressed

broadcast [ mouse downv]

when I receive [mouse down v]
create clone of [myself v]


when I start as a clone
go to [random position v]

But each clone will receive the broadcast and create another clone. That's not going to help stop the clones multiplying.
