I looked at your “Sprite1”, but there is no “create clone of myself as [polkadot]” block in that sprite. Can you double-check on that?

@the_true_odst

Maybe it is a good opportunity to learn how to debug? Here are 2 tutorials that should be helpful:

Yes, it usually takes 24 hours for the index to be fully updated.

@the_true_odst

Looking at your code, 2 questions come up:

1. Are you sure those clones with clone ID of “CB1” and “CB2” are both created?

2. Since the code under “when I start as a clone” is all the same except the clone ID, why not use an “or” block to check both conditions?

Thanks. We will look into this.

Whenever I copy text from a chat window, it returns the XML code that wraps that message rather than the text itself.

@the_true_odst

That’s true. It can be hard to use when there are many different layers.

How about 2 new blocks?

1. go to layer [LAYER]: LAYER can be any number between 0 and 100

2. my layer: a reporter block for current layer

@the_true_odst If you’re looking to make a mobile game, then I challenge you to make it 9:16 (450*800) to be the size of a phone. This will require remaking the backdrops and resizing stuff, but it’d be a good use of CreatiCode’s stage size customization feature located here:

The game seems cool other than that.

@info-creaticode Looks like it’d be a reporter block called “layer” and in the Looks category near here:

For what it should return as its value, it’d be a number that is how many layers away it is from the back/very first layer. For instance, if I have a project with only 2 sprites, and in the first sprite, I run

go foward 5 layers
say layer

then in the second sprite i run

go foward 10 layers
say layer

then the layer var on them should return 5 and 10.

Even if the layers are relative, the backdrop can and commonly is used as the 0th layer, which is what the layer block would use as its reference layer.

@the_true_odst

Keep in mind that the layers are relative, and there is no concept of “layer 0”, “layer 1”. What do you expect the value of this new block to be?
