My issue is found within the “Skills” sprite. I recently added a system which lets you pick what skill upgrade you would like, but it only works at times. Instead, it usually ends up with all 3 (and sometimes ones which weren't even options) being selected.
What I need is a way for the clone that got selected to basically say guys, i got chosen!!1! and make the others delete themselves. I thought I found a way to do such using variables, but it doesn't seem to be working well.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but basically a user can only have 3 equipped skills?

If so, you probably want to change this:

when I receive [upgrade v]
set [isupgrading v] to []
go to x: (-193) y: (132)
repeat (3)
create clone of [myself v]
move (80) steps
end

to this:

when I receive [upgrade v]
if <(length of [Skills v] :: list) < [3]> then

set [isupgrading v] to []
go to x: (-193) y: (132)
repeat (3)
create clone of [myself v]
move (80) steps
end
else
say [3/3 slots used!]
end

Basically this prevents a user from adding more than 1 sprite

Sorry if my question was unclear
basically i'm saying that i only want the player to be able to select one of the three upgrade options whenever an upgrade is available. There doesn't have to be a limit.

OH MY GOD I'M SO STUPID I SOLVED IT

For those asking how i just realized that the clones also received the cue to create more clones and that resulted in an exponential growth
