* A combinations of tiles that functions as a single unit, especially if it alters the behavior of its parts. For example, a "fireball cloner" is really a [[fireball]] on top of a [[clone machine]] (which prevents the fireball from moving), and a "no green keys" sign is really a [[green key]] beneath a [[no sign]] (which prevents the key from being picked up). | * A combinations of tiles that functions as a single unit, especially if it alters the behavior of its parts.

[[ | [[MS]] also has the [[clone block]], used to indicate the direction of a block cloner. This is a tile in the sense that it can be placed within a level, but it exists as an editing trick and is not intended as a distinct game element. In all other [[ruleset]]s, dirt blocks have a direction like every other moving object, so a separate clone block is unnecessary. | ||

One of the unused tiles found new life in the "pgchip" patch for MSCC, which replaced it with the [[ice block]] from CC2. | One of the unused tiles found new life in the "pgchip" patch for [[MSCC]], which replaced it with the [[ice block]] from CC2. | ||
