wanting to make a sprite to make 5 clones of itself but it makes a lot more than it should when you spam or hold the key that causes the clones to be made

i've tried adding a “cooldown” with variables which kinda worked but i want it to just make 5 clones every time, not whatever it's doing

Okay so the problem is that the clones are cloning themselves whenever you press X. To fix this all you have to do is make variable with “For this sprite only” ticked and use it to tell if the script is being ran by the main sprite or the clone.
(In this example the variable is “IsClone”)

I personally like the usage of “Generation”, and then having the clone change “gen” by 1 when it is created, this way clones can be more 3d. But your solution also works.

you can move the x event to another sprite.
