I am making a mining game and when you go to a new floor, it should spawn a few ores around the level. However, floor 2 does not. It spawns 42 ores instead of 6, and i have tried about everything but i cannot seem to fix it. I don't think i will be able to update unless it gets fixed. Could someone look into its code and see if i missed something? Thanks.


PS- i tested and the player doesn't seem to be making the “start new area” command broadcast 7 times.

you need to add something to stop clones from receiving the start new area broadcast

Yeah, it should be made more clear that clones can receive broadcasts. There is a way to detect clones though:
1.

Create a variable to check if it is a clone. Make sure for this sprite only is on.
2.
Add this script:

Clones will have 1 set to that variable, while the sprite itself will have 0 now.

But, change the ‘1’ to ((Clone) + (1))

Well, if you wanted to distinguish clones then maybe.

The problem with your code is that every time it would just set it to ‘1’ when there are ‘6’
Clones

Though, they said the issue was that every clone to not receive the broadcast, when none of them were supposed to.

Then make a floor variable too and use a costume number for it

..just use this.

when I receive [broadcast v]
if <(clone?) = [0]> then
...
end

Oh, that makes sense, I'm an IDIOT

Thanks for the help everyone! I fixed it and now it only spawns 6 ores!
