Serious Duplication bug -- Feedback

[Charles M.]

Occasionally (and almost always), when a broadcast block is pressed, the game seems to activate the “when I receive broadcast” multiple times when it should only do it once.

• I tried using a new message

• I tried delaying the clone production and the timing exponentially

• I re-ordered some of the blocks to see if that was the issue

• I pestered the AI chatbot and they couldn’t figure out the problem

Nothing worked

@info-creaticode , this is a major bug and I can’t continue my game without this being fixed.

Thank you for your time.

Ignore the previous edit. I see what you mean now. This might be an issue with lag.

[Charles M.]

@selene It’s not, I know what my lag is. I’m using a different computer which handles better

[Charles M.]

I might be able to fix this by using variable detection instead of broadcast

[artisilv]

@白刃の亡霊 i was just thinking that lol

[Charles M.]

@selene Yeah it worked

where is everyone?

@dido_the_dino You also have to consider that The site itself is not that popular, Compare it to something like scratch. Maybe one day we’ll get an active forum.

The broadcast block should be working fine. You can try this simple test:

play.creaticode.com/projects/68b650671f1f6c01bf5cf461?version=1

When the green flag is clicked, it will broadcast the message. And when it is received, the variable will increase by 1. If there is an issue like what you described, you should see the variable increase by more than 1 each time, right?

 
To find out the real issue, I suggest you simplify your program to bear minimum, and also try to debug it using the “print” block in the “control” group.
