Bug with clones (fixed)

Hi! I’ve been having some problems with my summer contest project lately, as something’s causing the “Penguin” object’s clones to suddenly stop running their code, one at a time. From what I can tell, this only happens after you tap the in-game play button (that is, when the Scene variable is set to 3) and happens whether or not you interact with the project after that.

I’ve looked through my code a lot and can’t seem to find what’s causing this bug (it could even be a bug with Hopscotch for all I know), so I would greatly appreciate some help with fixing it.

Here’s a link to the (unpublished) project:

EDIT: Would tagging POMTL be appropriate for this?
EDIT 2: @omtl

I just shortened the title if that’s ok

Did you clone forever?

Another thing that I noticed is that the hat gets messed up after I walk around for a while.

Yeah, that’s caused by the clones’ code stopping running. Eventually, the entire sprite gets messed up.

You probably created more than 4096 clones per object. That’s the limit.

I don’t have anything in my code that creates more than a few hundred clones, and that’s not even per object. (That is, unless I messed up and put a create a clone block in something that repeats forever - however, the project was working fine before and I’m pretty sure I haven’t added anything like that.)

Wouldn’t having 4096 clones just cause the project to freeze?

I think omtl would be the right tag
It’s a bug with the app

That’s odd.
Come to think of it, I might actually have been having the same problem, just in a different way… haven’t found a solution yet tho so sadly I can’t help
Hopefully it gets fixed tho

Aha! No wonder!

No, it wouldn’t. All projects made with that many clones in an object didn’t freeze. (Note: This was when the maximum number of clones per object was changed from 500 to 4096.)

…I didn’t say I did - in fact, I’ve just checked through my code again and I haven’t found any Create a Clone blocks that repeat forever.

What would the project do then?

It would run quite normally.

But doesn’t it lag when there’s a bunch of clones?

Wait, the bug fixed itself when I deleted the “Mob Type - Bunnies” object (was in a copy of the project, it’s not permanently deleted.)… weird, especially since that object wasn’t causing any problems before.

I do kind of need that object in the final project, though…

EDIT: Actually, I just realized that no bunnies spawn in the glitched project even though the code for spawning them worked fine before.

That’s weird…
Maybe make some copies of the draft with the object with it and delete parts of its code and see if that makes a difference?

That’s if it’s a really big project that might break the filesize cap of 80 MB.
