I have 4 identical sprites that don't do the same thing, Why?

Question

I have four identical scratch sprites, but only one of them do what I expect and I need to know why so I can continue with my project

I have tried reloading the page multiple times but it still won't work

When (Green Flag) clicked forever: if touching mouse-pointer? then: set (Enclosure Hover) to 1 else: set (Enclosure hover) to 0

I expect this to change Enclosure Hover to 1 when the mouse is touching it but it doesn't change it at all.

Do you have any scripts that are using one of those sprites in another sprite? Can you share the project and link to it here? — Mithical, Mar 31 '19 at 07:06

If the variable is global, all sprites will compete to change it. Hope that helps!

You have to add the code to all the sprites that you want. Duplicating a sprite, then adding code to one of the sprites does not add the code to every sprite.

I know that and have come up with an alternative for what I wanted to do – Lordimass Apr 19 '19 at 16:01

One way is to add code to one sprite, then duplicate the sprite with the code in it. The code will be duplicated along with the new sprite.

Funnily enough, you described exactly what I did! I have come up with an alternative to this problem, thanks anyway. – Lordimass Apr 19 '19 at 16:03

You will need to duplicate the sprite only after the sprite has the code in it so that the 4 sprites do the same thing. I guess what you have been doing is to duplicate the sprites then adding the script into only one of them.
