remember, clones accept broadcasts as though they are individual sprites, so if you send a broadcast to a sprite with a clone, both the sprite and its clone will respond with the same code.

Which section of your code isn't working the way you're wanting it to?

I have been working on another route for this game that occurs when you die more than 11 times and continue to try. A unique attack in this route are weapon slash's that I used from another game I made. For some odd reason, it functions as normal, but after the first 1-2 slashes it starts repeating the broadcast that causes the slash animation as well as the broadcast that causes the warning before the attack appears. I've been looking around, and I can't seem to figure out the cause of this. I have a Local Variable set up to identify if a clone is the original Sprite or a clone that makes sure the clones act out only their clone code and no broadcasts.

Can you point me in the direction of the code that utilizes the slash animation in your project?
Which sprite holds the code for broadcasting the slashes, which sprite(s) hold the ‘when I receive slash broadcast’ coding?

(#10)
The “Projectile” sprite holds the code for the Slash’s - It creates the Slash that does damage and tells the “Warning” sprite to flash where it is in order to warn the player. The “Warning” Sprite holds the code for the animation that plays before the slash shows, and the “Projectile” sprite tells itself when to start slashing. As a bonus, when the “SansBody_Sprite” receives the broadcast that tells the “Warning” to appear, it plays a slash animation as well.

Now I already lost track of the losses and I am not sure when and how I should expect the slash something (don't even know what that means).

There is no “Projectile” sprite, found only “BlueProjectile”, “ProjectileAttack” and “DebugMode” that isn't mentioned nor documented the littlest which I find a bit interesting since we are asked to debug the game.

By lurking through the code I found the JUDGMENT_Encounter broadcast setting this sprite only “AreYouClone?” variable of “ProjectileAttack” to False, didn't trace down where everywhere it gets broadcasted, but it's at least SUSpicious code to me.

No need for appologies ; ) I am just tryign to have fun with scr… in TurboWarp, it's not our duty. I just found that it works differently then yesterday, are you working directly on the remote project or do you just update when you are done with changes in local .sb3 file on your device?

Btw, I did not get any notification for new posts here either (I just keep refreshing the tab time to time, because my ecperience with scratch notification is that they are useless, a live chat project in scratch, which unfortunately are forbidden is better then scratch site), maybe I could heart and unheart the project as form of ping lol.

• Project using many clones should have some clone managment system for at least being able to inspect all of the clones in project, their count and in the best case report error for attempt to create 301st or even handle it without crashing the game.
  When I get to slash attacks it starts creating so many clones that the bone attacks don't even appear (even thogh the warnings are displayed).
  
• Thera are many parallel threads (script of connected blocks) I am going to use the terminology from RokCoder's blog about scratch inner workings. All those threads are getting cueued to thread list in a order that the code shows no controll of, that means you things might work for some time, but you are likely break the code with changes to it.
  I've found the set AreYOuAClone? this sptite only variable to be set in seprate threads, the bug isn't completely fixed but it seems to be getting there. Those changes are mainly done in sprites “ProjectileAttack” “Warning!”, I shared the project on my alt account: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/476526989/

One important thing, I think applying some more good scratch coding practices would help with many of the issues, two I came across so far:

  I checked out the Project, and wow, THANKS! Beforehand, my perspective of the issue wasn't completely clear; now it's much easier to see what's actually happening. Using this new information, I “Solved” the issue by creating another ‘Main Sprite’ so to say when the game starts. This other clone has a different “AreYouAClone” Value, being “Slash”, and I put “If AreYouAClone = Slash” into the Slash code. This makes it so that the actual Main Sprite doesn't multi-task hugely, and makes the Slash attacks work. Again, thanks so much for the help on this!
