A c block for clones and for original sprite

qwerty_wasd_gone

run for [clones only v]{...}:: control//the other options being "original sprite only" and "original sprite and clones"

this could be used for recieving broadcasts that you don't want clones to recieve

when I receive [move v]
run for [original sprite only v]{move (10) steps}:: control

or could be used for the same thing but for only clones

when I receive [move v]
run for [clones only v]{move (10) steps}:: control

or could be used for both when you need to run stuff for clones in a green flag script.

when green flag clicked
create clone of [myself v]
run for [original sprite and clones v]{move (10) steps}:: control

Another use:

when I start as a clone
...
run for [original sprite only v]{...}:: control//would run this for the original sprite and not clones even though it's in a clone script.

when green flag clicked
create clone of [myself v]
run for [clones only v]{move (10) steps}:: control//not as useful because of a hat block existing but would still work anyway

Q: But what about this? Would it make all clones run that script or just the clone that gets to that block?

when I start as a clone
if <...> then
run for [clones only v]{...}:: control
end

A: It would be all clones due to how it works in other hat blocks.
Q: Well what if we only want the clone that gets to the block to run it?
A: Simple, don't use the block, and the scripts will run only in that clone instead.

There is a workaround, but unlike other suggestions, this workaround is constantly needed when working with clones, so even though the workaround is simple, it still becomes extremely annoying (especially since you have to add an additional 2-5 vairables PER sprite that uses clones)

Is that support?

Given the fact the workaround is easy, I’d say, have a custom block spawn clones with a clone id, than sting the sprite to 0, there is a good workaround.
However, theres also a workaround to other blocks. And, while simple, th8is workaround is quite long.
However, again, the workaround is quite simple.

Sorry, no support. The workaround is pretty simple: Create a variable called “clone?” FOR THIS SPRITE ONLY. Make sure. Then:

when green flag clicked
set [clone? v] to (0)

when I start as a clone
set [clone? v] to (1)
...

when I receive [message1 v]
if <(clone?) = (1)> then
...

And if you want the code to specifically excecute for the original sprite only, then change the “1” to “0” in the boolean.

thank you for telling me

if <(clone?) = (1)> then //would not allow for original sprite and clones to run different scripts at same time
...

Full support due to other workarounds being too complicated.

Support, but it could be

<I am a clone? :: control>

// uses
when I receive [broadcast v]
if <I am a clone? :: control> then {
…
} :: control

semi-support the work around is… simple enough, but i'm to lazy to make a variable for it. Although, I have a very obscure question:

drop down blocks can have stuff like this:

broadcast (join () ())

so what would this do?

run for (join () ()){
} :: control

again this is a very obscure question

Repeating things for <invalid input here> always runs the script 0 times by default.

that's why it's a read-only dropdown

run for [clones only v]{}::control

and not

run for (clones only v){}::control

read-only dropdowns don't allow reporter blocks

this is not a repeat block
