What kind of device are you using?: iPhone 8

1 sentence description of the problem (I was doing _________, and then __________ happened): If you have a when I hear message something + something (for example “hello” + clone index) even if that message is broadcast the rule will not run.

Steps that the Hopscotch team can take to reproduce my problem every time:

1. Create code similar to this:
   
   
   
   and then play. When you shake your device nothing will change color.

Either it isn’t broadcasting the correct thing or it isn’t listening for the correct thing.

That’s strange. Does it work with other math operators?

You are on a bug killing spree

If this was tested in my player, it’s because I haven’t updated my player. It should work fine in the app – my player starts Clone Index at 1 still, so that is why your code is not running.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Petrichor]

It was tested in the app, I did notice your player wasn’t updated though.

I never have seen this. Most of your bugs from beta editor which i don’t have.

[FRENCH_WAVE123]

Yup. @Petrichor, do u pay for the sub?

Shouldn’t it be when I hear hello+1+self clone index? But how should I know? I’ve never broadcasted anything before

[Petrichor]

It’s broadcasting to the next clone, I left out the cloning code but it is there.

[DolphinGirl7]

Ok, just making sure.

[Awesome_E]

I realized the issue. I don’t think it has to do with plus but rather the fact that Clone Index gets read as nothing.

This code makes the character set color on every tap

[Petrichor]

Oh interesting. I guess this makes sense, since from the error message on Self variable in message rules breaks project when self variable is empty goes to it trying to get the value of a variable with null for the object.

[Awesome_E]

And that is also why it doesn’t get read properly when you listen for the exact Index.

Hm is this working right now?
(I noticed in the screenshot in the OP, that the “when I hear” block is missing a + 1 but it might not matter if it was fixed while testing in Hopscotch)

(I was going to report a possible bug with objects not responding to “matches” with a + block, in their own code. but this came up and I decided to check as well if it was related.)

[Petrichor]

Yes, it is working now.

Ah ok, cool. I’ll close the topic if there isn’t anymore to add
