ISSUE: i have three clones and one varible not related to any sprites, i want to be able to hover ANY clone and make the variable say 1, and when im not hovering over ANY of them itll be 0

the variable is “selection:IsHovering?”

when I start as a clone
forever
if <touching [mouse pointer v] ?> then
set [selection:IsHovering v] to [1]
else
set [selection:IsHovering v] to [0]
end
end

Ensure selection:IsHovering is for all sprites and not for this sprite only

when green flag clicked
forever
set [selection:IsHovering v] to [0]
broadcast [check v] and wait
end

when I receive [check v]
if <touching [mouse pointer v] ?> then
set [selection:IsHovering v] to [1]
end

I suppose it's possible that in general the mouse could touch more than one clone. I made something that works. There might be easier ways to do this but here is my case study:

Another thing I tried to do was avoid having the sprite itself report touching the mouse pointer because a hidden sprite will still detect touching the mouse. I don't think this matters in your project because the sprite overlaps your third clone, but it's something I wanted to avoid.

Personally what i would do (so it checks both instead of one

when I start as a clone
forever
if <touching [... v] ?> then 
set [text v] to [1]
  

else
if <not <touching [... v] ?>> then
set [text.. v] to [0]
end

end
end

please go and check out my project it is so good https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1375132648

ok so this is the same problem as just setting the variable back to 0 though???? the “if then else” is already the “false” output, theres really no need to add another layer of “if not touching” ill try out the other solutions

this like 50/50 works but with the “description” feature im trying to add this would just make it flash
