Your username: NTh3R

What kind of device are you using?: iPad 6th gen, iPadOS 15.5.thing

1 sentence description of the problem (I was doing _________, and then __________ happened): I was coding.

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

  1. Create a custom rule
  2. Add a magenta rule
    ….

I expected this to happen: No When Object Is Cloned

But instead this happened: Yes When Object Is cloned

Here’s a sweet screenshot:

Outside of the custom rule — no `When Object is Cloned` rule

Inside the custom rule block — `When Object is Cloned` appears for no reason

Notes:

  1. Found a similar topic, but the bug isn’t appearing in the same place. So no “sbyp” posts in this topic.
  2. I didn’t use clones in my object, so no “Is there a Create a Clone block in your code?” posts in this topic.
  3. Please do not say “Weird, first post”. I added a poll for you.

I don’t know what this sounds to you,
But the custom rule is available to every object in the game.
So it must have a ‘When object is cloned’ to suit if there is a cloned object in other objects

but its not supposed to appear unless there are clones being created in the object

also random but for some reason i was expecting a poem after reading the first sentence lol

This is intentional. When editing a custom rule, Hopscotch doesn’t identify which objects are using it right away. Since other objects could have rules or even other custom rules that use create a clone, it makes sense to always show “When cloned” inside custom rules.

Sure, Hopscotch could make a way to scan all objects that the custom rule exists in, then scan all of those custom rules, but I think it would be more of a frustrating user experience that way when I just want to create a custom rule with when cloned in it.

Aside from this topic, I would almost rather have it so that When cloned always shows up, regardless of where it is

^^ yes please, before I knew how when cloned worked I got super confused cause an extra when showed up when I used the clone block and it always threw me for a loop
