Pen Not Showing Up [Please Help!]
I have a problem with a game I am working on. I am trying to make a puzzle where you have a block that goes through a maze and keeps moving and you can't touch the sides. I want to make the block place down a pen trail so if you go back on your trail you fail as well. The problem is, the trail will not place. I tried putting in the following block:
But it still will not work. My pen size is 10 and the color is bright red. The background is light gray so it should show up. Help!
forever
pen down
end

Need to see the project. If you move a sprite with pen down and color red it should leave a trail!
Some reasons it may not work:
- You have sprites in front of the trail you have drawn (pen is always behind all sprites).
- You clear the pen trail before it is seen.

Are you sure you don't have a sprite in front of the backdrop? Pen marks can only appear on the backdrop.

So if the block is on top of anything except the backdrop it won't work? Okay then. I had it on top of another sprite. Thanks for the help!

All pen commands only work on the backdrop so are behind any sprites. If you stamp an image of the sprite you can use pen over that though.Are you sure you don't have a sprite in front of the backdrop? Pen marks can only appear on the backdrop.

Make sure your sprite has its position reset, it might be off-screen. In my project he sprite is not hiding the pen but still it doesn't show up I have used the following scriptswhen green flag clickedAnd I have used it on a purple background.

draw trail
define draw trail
pen down
set pen size to (50)
move (50) steps

Pen colour is bright green and pen size is 50
I can only really guess at the moment, providing a link to the project would be good to see everything involved, however, please create a new topic for this instead, so that everyone is able to focus on answering your question only. I'll report this topic to get closed to prevent future necroposts.
