Detecting Clones
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:
— a global variable used to count how many clones have been created.— a local variable duplicated with the clone that represents what clone number in chronological order of creation it is.— 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 creating a clone of Sprite1, use the following script in Sprite1:
If the desired value is a reporter, use this script in Sprite1:
Then will return the quantity for the clone with the clone ID x.
If the desired value is a boolean, use this script in Sprite1:
Then will return the quantity for the clone with the clone ID x.
