Falling Objects with Clones

Build a rain of objects using clones:

Original Sprite Script (hidden spawner)

  1. When 🏁 clicked → hide → forever → create clone of myself → wait (1) second.

Clone Script

  1. When I start as a clone → show → go to x:(pick random -200 to 200) y:(180).
  2. repeat until → change y by (-5).
  3. delete this clone.

Each clone appears at a random X position at the top and falls to the bottom, then deletes itself.
