Scratch

Do you mean you want to duplicate a sprite?
You can't do that in scratch currently. You can use the <stamp>[/blocks] and [blocks]<clear>[/blocks] blocks to make something duplicate. I could make something for you if that's what you meant...

A script to duplicate the current sprite, then control it, change it name, make it go somewhere, like that.

As hmnwilson says, there is no sprite duplication in Scratch.  There are a couple of ways to simulate it.  One is to create a pool of sprites that remain hidden until they are required.  They may have different costumes so they can appear different ways as the project requires.  An example of this is the rocks in this Asteroids remake...

Another approach is to simulate multiple sprites by stamping and clearing very fast.  Take a look at this project...

If the "duplicates" don't need to move after they are placed, a simple stamping approach without clearing will work fine like the blocks in this project...

Hope that helps!
