Detecting Clones

Материал из Поле цифровой дидактики

In order to detect properties of specific clones. a variety of lists and local variables need to be used. Local variables are duplicated with a clone's properties, but a sprite cannot detect an individual clone's local variable's value. However, a clone can detect a sprite, which can therefore send a message to trigger the sprite's scripts. In order for a sprite to detect the properties of a clone, the clone must use lists in order to "communicate" with the sprite.

For the following scripts, assume the following:

  • (clones) — a global variable used to count how many clones have been created.
  • (clone id) — a local variable duplicated with the clone that represents what clone number in chronological order of creation it is.
  • (quantities::list) — a list used to store the wanted value for each clone.
  • Sprite1 — the sprite which creates the clones

These following scripts would go in Sprite1:

when gf clicked
delete [all v] of [quantities v]
set [clones v] to (0)

When creating a clone of Sprite1, use the following script in Sprite1:

add [] to [quantities v]
change [clones v] by (1)
create clone of (myself v)

If the desired value is a reporter, use this script in Sprite1:

when I start as a clone
set [clone id v] to (clones)
forever
replace item (clone id) of [quantities v] with (. . .::grey reporter)

Then (item (x) of [quantities v]) will return the quantity for the clone with the clone ID x.

If the desired value is a boolean, use this script in Sprite1:

when I start as a clone
set [clone id v] to (clones)
forever
replace item (clone id) of [quantities v] with <. . .::grey boolean>

Then <(item (x) of [quantities v]) = [true]> will return the quantity for the clone with the clone ID x.
