The '''x position''' block is a reporter block in the [[Motion]] category that reports the current x position of the sprite that the block is in. It originates from [[Scratch]]. The default value for non-paint/blank sprites is a random position, while the default value for paint/blank sprites is 36. In the default project, the Penguin sprite starts at a position of (0, 0).

This block can be worked around by using the [[() of () (Sensing)|() of ()]] sensing reporter block, with x position selected, and getting the 2nd dropdown to be the sprite that the block is in. This can be achieved by using a reporter that reports the name of the sprite, or by copying the block from another sprite to the sprite wanted.

The x position block is a reporter block in the Motion category that reports the current x position of the sprite that the block is in. It originates from Scratch. The default value for non-paint/blank sprites is a random position, while the default value for paint/blank sprites is 36. In the default project, the Penguin sprite starts at a position of (0, 0).
Workaround
This block can be worked around by using the () of () sensing reporter block, with x position selected, and getting the 2nd dropdown to be the sprite that the block is in. This can be achieved by using a reporter that reports the name of the sprite, or by copying the block from another sprite to the sprite wanted. However, this always gets the x position of the main sprite, and not any of the clones:
[x position v] of (self v)
Or:
[x position v] of (join [se] [lf])
