How do you delete a previous stamp?

You can only delete all stamps of all sprites with

There's no way of deleting single stamps. If you want to do that, work with clones instead. Create a variable “Clone ID” for that particular sprite (not for all) and a variable named “delete Clone ID” for all sprites, then do this:

You can then delete any clone by setting the “delete Clone ID” to the clone you want to delete, and then broadcasting “delete clone”. This will even work from other sprites.

Why clones though? You can use a list with costume numbers

I can't figure out, how costume numbers would help. For example, if you want to draw the keys of a phone, you can draw a costume which looks like a phone key and stamp it 10 times, so it's visible on the screen

If you then wanted to delete single stamps, it won't work, you can only delete all of them with

By using clones you could delete single keys.

If you wanted to delete button no. 5, you could do it like this (assuming you would also copy the “When delete clone received” script from above):

You can. Keep all costume numbers in a list. When wanting to delete a specific stamp, delete the costume number from list and rerender from list. I am just saying that it is possible with just the pen blocks without clones.

daCypher

Now i get it. Yes if you clear and then rerender, you can do it with stamps. You only need to save the position of each stamp.

As long as stamped images don't overlap and the backdrop is a plain colour you can also stamp a plain costume to make the old stamped item disappear. I've used this for card games and it works well.

Yep, preferred if you are using pen to write text or other drawings so it will be faster.

When working with stamps and the pen, you have to think of the entire screen as a stamp.

Since you can draw instantly with the pen and stamps, you can achieve the appearance of deleting single stamps with this flow…

Redraw screen
Wait
Clear
Redraw screen with one stamp deleted
Wait
Clear
Redraw screen with any changes you want to make
Wait
Clear
Redraw screen
.
.

And no, there will be no blank screens or anything. Scratch can draw with the pen lightning fast (put it in a nonrefresh block)

Please don't necropost. This topic is old and answered, and brings it back to the front page of the forums, which can annoy some people. Next time, please create your own topic.

Please don't - this topic is old and has already been answered. Any newer questions at the end of the topic are better moved to new topics.

Ok! Deck26 I understand.

WeaselFurr

I'm having the same problem with stamps.

theres not really any way other than using pen clear or using identification numbers for your clones
