Tgis may be simple, but after manual punding and scouring the forum, I still have a missing link in my brain.
I have named clones of a master sprite, with a (debugging) “say" block in the master sprite that reports a value. That can be different in diffent clones, so I think there should be values I can access with an “ask" block. Clone “pd” reports a value, clone “R” reports a different value (using the “say" block, as above).
But try as I might I cannnot access this value from another sprite. I can use “ask" to find. the built in values: I suspect I don’t know how to target the clone (I’ve been down rabbit holes looking for "clone reporters”…)
Sometimes, you can just make a sprite-only variable storing the value, then ask for the value with [scratchblocks]([variable v] of [sprite v])[/scratchblocks].
Thanks. I’m so new to Snap that I have not yet figured out how to share…that’ll follow. The only sensing block I can find is this
Which lists the names of the variables, not the values. ( I searched for “of” across the blocks). Even then the RH dropdown does offer the names of the clones.
If it's a temporary clone, you can store it in a variable or list, and put the variable or list item into "ask":
(Don't forget to ringify the variable you're trying to access.)
another “block” removed, thanks. Now working on deleting the clones from a block… gradually building a mental model of this environment (Deleting Clones - #2 by jguille2)
