Re: New Sprites
Laptop97 is correct... You can't dynamically duplicate a sprite from a script in Scratch. In some cases, the stamp block from the pen category could do the trick. This leaves a *visual* duplicate of a sprite on the screen, however it cannot move or run scripts.
If that doesn't work for your project, you can ofcourse just duplicate the sprite a few times yourself and synchronize them with broadcasts and/or variables.
Good luck! And feel free to ask for some more help!

Re: New Sprites
Though there is supposed to be a "clone" feature coming out in Scratch 2.0 
Oh, and other (unofficial) versions of scratch (such as Panther) have a clone feature, but you can't upload those onto the Scratch website.

Re: New Sprites
You can! Just duplicate the sprite. And hide it and when you want it to show in your game then just broadcast some message and for the replica sprite do a when I receive message show.

probably want to look at the dates, the original post was in 2007, and your post is four years later- think things have changed since then
