The only thing I can think of is that Hide is being broadcasted multiple times. Could you post the link to your project so that we can see the actual code?

Each of the clones you create will receive the Hide broadcast message and run that script individually. I'm assuming you have five clones and one sprite that are each running the loop, so that's why it seems like it's running six times. You could solve this by having the backdrop receive the broadcast because it doesn't have any clones.

Now the main sprite isn’t hiding.

You can create a broadcast to hide the sprite or you can put the code in the sprite and instead use sprite only variables to check if the sprite is running the clone or if the clones are. This can be done since:

If you had this code with a sprite only variable, the sprite would have a value of 0 while the clones would have 1. This works with sprite only lists as well. You can use this to check it after then and put the already existing code in the check.
