How do I get my pen tool to work? I mean, I put the pen down block but when I try to draw it doesn't do anything. Please help!

Can you show your project, because if you write the following code, it should work:

when green flag clicked
set pen color to [#cb9900]
set pen size to (1)
pen up
go to x: (0) y: (10)
pen down
change x by (10)
change y by (-20)
change x by (-20)
change y by (20)
change x by (10)

Could you please share a project with your current pen script? That way, we can try to narrow down what the problem is.

Yes, I guess I can share a project with the code.(Maybe you can just view my script here) Btw when I try my code out it just makes super small dots.
I am trying to make my line where ever the mouse pointer goes. (also I couldn't find the set drag mode dragable block so I will just type it in which won't make it into a block)

when this sprite clicked
pen down
set drag mode dragable
set pen color to (answer)

Did you set the pen size to your needs? If it is too small you can put it bigger using this block:

set pen size to (10)

Do you use the clear block?
Clears all that as been drawn. So it should never be in a forever loop like so:

when green flag clicked
forever
clear
end

Finally, do you move?
If you stay at a point the only drawing you will see is the pen dot.
You can use any of the motion blocks to move the pen and draw:

move () steps

go to x: () y: ()

go to [ v]

glide () secs to x: () y: ()

change x by ()

set x to ()

change y by ()

set y to ()

Hope it helps.

What I mean is that, well, I want the line to move where the mouse pointer goes but that helped a lot! Thanks!

Only sprites can draw pen. You can make it look like the mouse cursor is drawing by having a sprite constantly go to the mouse.

So do you want the pen to erase or just go along the mouse?

Okay. Then you can make a sprite and it forever goes to the mouse pointer and then draw like this:

when green flag clicked
set pen color to (answer)
forever
go to [ mouse pointer]
pen down
end

Does it works now? If you really want a actual tutorial, ask me then!

Thanks! I tried the script and it works (I changed it up a bit)!
