I can't seem to figure out how to make my character emit a trail.

Any suggestions?

Depending on what the trail is, if it is using the pen,

when green flag clicked
clear
set pen color to [#0000ff]
forever
    
pen down
end

Inside the sprite.

Awesome-Llama has created a solution but actually there is no need for the forever loop.

pen down

Will keep drawing a line until:

pen up

is used!

Check out this project here for help. It uses a sprite instead of a pen.

you can do this for a cool trail

when green flag clicked
forever
create clone of [ myself]
when I start as a clone
repeat (5)
change [ ghost] effect by (20)

delete this clone
end

sorry mistake, put the delete clone block outside the repeat 5 times

It's great that you want to help, but this is from 2015, that's 4 years ago…
It's best to help the people that have questions at the moment, rather than one from that long ago.
Thanks

(though yeah that is a pretty cool trail)
