This sounds like it could be useful, but I don't see it in a little test project I've just made…
Create two clones, pen-draw a (different) line with each, also stamp its (different) costume in a different place for each, then only one of them does a clear a few secs later - everything vanishes.
Am I missing/misunderstanding something…?

Ahh, it seems I was incorrect! I thought the clear block was clone specific because of something that happened earlier on while working on a project of mine. It must have been another late night case of false positives in my code Sorry about any troubles you had trying to get this to work, it does not

Um.

I don't think I said that

Yeah.

But I did “say (myclonenumber)”, which was a private variable, and they all said 1

This post seemed to be liked by many for Scratch 1.4, so I figured I'd copy the post! (It's mine)

The current “Clear” block in Scratch clears everything drawn by pen or stamped from any and every sprite that used it. This can be a problem for multiple sprites using the pen for separate purposes. For example, if a user wanted to display money and health with numbers using two separate sprites using a stamping method, one of the two sprites would become invisible due to both of the sprites using the “clear” block. There are workarounds to this if someone is using anywhere under 5 sprites using the “clear” block, but anything over that amount becomes a problem. I think it would be very convenient if Scratch had “clear” blocks that only cleared pen-drawings and stampings from the specific sprite that made the drawings or stampings. This doesn't mean I would suggest the “clear” block be eliminated altogether, just that the Scratch team adds a separate one with a different functionality. It could be called “Clear for (sprite name)” or something. Also, I think it would be a good idea if this was a block, that it could be used by non-specific sprites to clear other sprite's drawings/stamps. For example, lets say you're browsing the pen blocks under Sprite 2. You could see something like this:

Clear all for {sprite 1 v}

(^^^ Not sure how scratch blocks work with 2.0 forums .-.)

Does anyone see how this would be problematic? If you support, please comment!

NOTES FOR THE ABOVE LINKED PROJECT:

It is imperative that you read the information in the side panes (notes, etc) to understand why the project is doing what it's doing and how it is doing so. Also, if you take a look at this project, and the scripts used, maybe you'll have a better understanding of why local clear blocks should be implemented!

I support. I need this for an upcoming game (although admittedly, I could just have it stamp again, but whatever.)

No, absolutely not! By all means, mod away! You can use the idea for sure!! Can you give me a link to the mod when it's finished?

WOW man I just took a look at your beta version. I AM BLOWN AWAY. What you have so far is absolutely incredible! Keep up the amazing work. That program could be the future of programming!

You know at first when I saw you were modding, I thought “Oh gosh, not another nooby who's unaware of how difficult modding can be..”

but you have surpassed my expectations by a LONG SHOT. And the effect that you did with the categories where they light up their color on mouse over? Amazing. Truly an astonishing work you have on your hands. good sir (:

You do realise that would mean having a layer for each sprite?
Since we are at it, let's have paint layers that cut into others, like masks in photoshop. That would allow to make “flashlights” VERY easily.
