Alright, so let's say I have 20 different clones that are buttons. (The functionality of the buttons doesn't matter for this question). Each of the clones spawns in with it's own variable called “ID” (which is set as “for this sprite only”) Based off of this I can say:

set x to ((ID) * (50))

This will make all of the buttons spaced apart by 50, but they will eventually go off the screen. It looks like:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10…. (goes past edge of screen)
Whereas I want something that loops back when a certain number of buttons are in one row: like

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
How would one go about doing this? Thanks!

you could just do something like this:]

set [foo v] to [0]
set y to ((foo) * (20))
if <(id) > [whatever length]> then
set y to ((foo) * (20))
change [foo v] by (1)
end

something like

set x to (((ID) mod [5]) * [50])
set y to (([floor v] of ((ID) / [5])) * [30])

should get you a lot closer to your objective

Thanks! That'll work great!

That would work great but I have another thing that complicated that idea so the first idea would work best. I figured that using a variable would be the best way, but I wanted to see if there was a super technical method of doing so. Thanks y'all!

Never mind, this actually was the best way. But instead of mod 5, it needs to be mod 5.000000001 (in order to keep the 5 from being in front)

Good thing this works
