It seems all of these can already be achieved with existing blocks, since for each clone you have control over its clone_id, so you can do something specific based on each clone’s own ID.

If there is a specific use case that’s not covered, please explain in more details. For example, you can say “I need to create 10 clones of a sprite, and I want the clones to …”

Looks like the texture is not loading. can you share the project link?

We are almost done with this change, and we still need to test it thoroughly, so it will be restored soon (in the next few days)

If you set the ring to have transparent filling, then it will say touching is false, right?

If you must have the white color filling the ring, then you can work around it a few ways:

1. Use touching color with the ring color instead of touchign sprite
2. Besides checking for touching, also calculate distance between the dog and the ring, and if the distance is very small, it means the dog is inside the ring.
3. Use 2 ring sprites, one transparent and one filled, and they go together, and for touching test, use the ring that’s transparent.

Yes the new moderaton will be powered by AI. All existing projects are being reviewed and will be published soon if they pass the review. If they fail, the project will be reset to private, and you can modify the project and then try to share it again. Or you can appeal if you disagree with the review result, and we will manually review your project again.

Can you create a simple example project? With just 2 sprites, and illustrates where the issue is: like the sensing block (which block you are using?) is reporting it is touching the other sprite though you do not want it to do so.

@dezz-nuts

Are you saying you do not want to count as touching a sprite if that sprite is a ring and your sprite is inside that ring?

That’s strange. These scripts are available. If you copy their URL into the browser, do you get the script or it says not found?

@tao

Yes, we need to “encode” the position of the obstacles/start/end positions in a generic way, so the same block can be used in many different situations.

So both of you need some AI block for pathfinding?

To be clear, there are many ways to implement this. How about something like this:

1. You create a 2D table that serve as the map. Say the table has 10 rows and 10 columns, so 100 cells, and you leave a cell empty if it is walkable, you set a cell to 1 if it is a wall, and you set a cell to 2 if it is the starting position, and set a cell to 3 if it is the end position.

2. Then we can run a block that takes this table as input, and output a new table that’s also 10 x 10, but in this new table, we will set some cells to 4, and they form a path (the nearest one) from the starting position to the end positon.

Would you be able to convert your specific problem into this table format so you can use this new block?
