Suggestion 37: Clone types

Like I said in suggestion 4, but slightly different. Basically, you can make it so that there are different types of clones
create clone of [LUIGI I'M A SPRITE IN SCRATCH NOW v] as clone type [Mario v] :: control

when i start as a clone with clone type [Mario v] :: hat control
(number of clones in clone type [Mario v] :: control)
you can also rename and delete clone types, just like variables

Suggestion 37: Clone types

Essentially removing the need for a clone ID variable?

Thanks for reminding me to bump!

But in any case, I think the clone IDs are a lot more intuitive. Still, this could possibly work.

Easy. 

when I start as a clone
change [clone count (for this sprite only) v] by (1)
// for a new clone
([clone count v] of [Sprite1 v])
// find the count in a different sprite
change [clone count (for this sprite only) v] by (-1)
delete this clone
// for when you delete the clone
