Is there a way to detect who a clone's "parent" is?
my [parent V] or (ask (clone ::variables) for ((my[parent V])@>)@:>)
(my [parent V])
It's in the dropdown from
(my [neighbors V]
You're telling me it's been that easy this whole time... 
tysm
On that note, how do I make it go to it's parent? I inserted the (my parent) block into the "go to ____" block, but it isn't working.
Not sure what you mean, it seems to work perfectly fine for me.
go to (my [parent V])
I'm telling it
"when I start as clone, go to my parent"
but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
is "my parent" the original sprite, or the sprite that made the clone?
edit: I just checked, it's going to the original sprite. how do I make it go to the sprite that created the clone?
The script @the_meep111 provided should do just that. Would you mind sharing your entire script so we can check for errors?
It sounds to me like you're tying to make a sprite create a clone of another sprite, and then have the clone go to the sprite that created the clone (not necessarily the original sprite of the clone). It took me a bit to realize what you were trying to do, since I don't do this very much.
You can tell the new clone to go to the sprite that created it with just this script.
Let me break this down a bit.
(a new clone of [ V]) creates a new clone, and then reports the clone, so you can then do stuff like this.
I put a go to [ V] block inside the grey ring. This is ran by the clone, bot the sprite running the script. Then there are inputs to the tell [ V] to (() @>) with inputs [] @<:> . The (my [self V]) block is ran by the sprite that is running this script, so it's passing the result of (my [self V]) into the go to [ V] block (because the value of the go to [ V] block is empty).
I hope this explanation helps you understand why this works.
Well it's not done, but sure! The idea is to make the clone of "purplebullet" go to "purpleleftWrist" or "purpleRightWrist" depending on which one summons it.
This makes a lot of sense, thanks! My only question is, why leave the "go to" block blank? Why not just fill it with the name of the parent instead of adding "with inputs (my self)?
more versatile i guess? so you don't have to set it each time you copy it to another sprite
It's so that it can be used in any sprite (or even clone).
thank you!!
