What Wick Editor Version are you using?
1.19.3 (1.19.4 should also apply)
Describe the Problem
so, block stacker game that for the sake of copyright is definitely not t*tris. (i don’t think i have to worry too much about copyright but whatever)
my goal is to make a 60fps game, and i know that having a lot of things like clips and vectors are resource-intensive. i’m already taking a step by using image clips instead of vector clips for the blocks.
and while i’m here, i should probably ask: is it better to clone from 8 different blocks to make all the colors or to clone a single clip with all 8 colors? the 2nd option makes it so that every block has 8 frames, which i’m assuming is worse? however, with the first option, i have to completely delete any block that has changed and replace it with a new one.
anyway, i’m currently doing the 2nd option, and i realized that instead of cloning clips with pictures of blocks inside them, it would be better if i could just clone the pictures themselves directly from the asset library (and have control over them so that i can delete them later). however i have no idea how to do that. i have a small feeling i’ve seen someone do it before but i can’t find any post talking about it.
What have you tried so far?
searching through the forums with no success
Do you have a Wick Editor File that we can see? Optional*

go to the frame in the top layer and scroll down to
updateBoard() to find this mess of a switch.
the board is a clip, if you go inside there’s 8 more clips for all the colors. those are the colors i’m cloning to render the board.
