New-style Clone (Neo Clone)

[neo644]

Are you tired of cloners cloning fire, laser, thunder, and steam (especially for player to get abilities from) failing when you upload? I have designed a new method for making clones that is failsafe. It is named the Neo Clone after me and the fact that neo means new. The advantages of this clone is:

* Cloning wont fail
* You can see what is being cloned (in case there is a reaction that happens as soon as the element appears)
* It looks cool

Neo Clone

This was my initial clone. It works perfectly. How to make it:
1. Make a 5x5 empty box of BLOCK with a block in the center, as shown in the picture.
2. Fill the empty area inside the 5x5 box with CLONE.
3. Erase the block in the center.
4. Fill that space with the element you want.
5. Erase the remaining block. You are finished.

Note that if you are cloning laser, steam, fire, thunder, or any other element that disappears naturally, follow these steps before you upload:
1. Press STOP if it isn't already stopped.
2. Completely fill the small box with the element being cloned.
3. Upload.

Mini Neo Clone


This is just like the regular Neo Clone, except it is 4x4 instead of 12x12. It is ideal for putting inside 3x3 blocks for the player.

1. Make a 3x3 block with the center taken out.
2. Zoom in and use Pen Size 0 to male a 4x4 box of clone with no center.
3. Fill it with the element desired.
4. (Do not do this if it is meant as a player ability block) Erase the block.

Again, if it is cloning thunder, laser, fire or steam, stop and fill it before you upload.

This is just me, but I don't really find it useful . . . I'm not saying that its a bad invention though, its just that, it doesn't matter if there is a hole inside the clone, as long as every exposed pixel is touching the element, the chunk of clone will clone it, so if you were to coat the outside of the clone in the element wit ha 1 pixel layer, it'll work as long as you remember to stop it first . . .
This is however useful for complicated uploads where you use many different chunks of clone and you need a better visual representation of what element each clone is cloning . . .

Yeahh......so the thing is...

We have better methods (AKA use more of that element)

[FoxtrotZero]

I have to admit he has a point. They aren't always working correctly and his method IS foolproof, though there is better ways to do it. For elements that don't dissapear, then you can use a 4x4 box surrounded by Block and just fill it with the element. For something like steam you do the same, but make the border of the space clone, and fill the inside 4 dots with the element.

[Sandmaster]

Also, you can make the space a checkerboard: that way each particle automatically hits about 8 clones (since it hits clone 2 spaces away). This way, there is more chance to get one thing cloned.

[FoxtrotZero]

I don't get the last part of the screenshots. Why did he remove the block? The idea is to keep something in a box where a player can get to it. And why powder? You don't need to clone powder. You don't even need to clone gas.

[Sandmaster]

True, but it was kist an example

[FoxtrotZero]

I know its an example. But an example of what? Why put an example of something that makes so little sence it shouldn't be done

i don't know. I'm confusing myself. Watch out, sandmaster, careful not to step in the CrapCakes.

[Sandmaster]

Oops.

He used powder as an example because we can all associate powder as the father of all elements, I guess.

[darkraine]

But can we agree that the checkerboard pattern is better? that's they type I always use for unstable elements like laser, thunder, and fire.

[FoxtrotZero]

Well, i guess you have a point sandmaster.

Yes DR. I think we can agree checkerboard is better. i was going to suggest something else, but then my mind wrapped around the word "unstable" in which case checkerboard is likely better.

[Sandmaster]

That's what I said. Checkerboards allow nearly triple the amount of space each element has to eactivate

[killered]

I will DEFINITELY be using this. Great Idea.
