Add an "when I start as a stamp" and "delete this stamp".

Code-Fixer

So my idea is to make 2 new blocks called “When i start as a stamp” and “delete this stamp” because it is very complicated to make it without a block itself. Plus, We already have this block called “delete this clone” and “when I start as a clone”.

The function for “When i start as a stamp” its the same thing with “when i start as a clone” but, it is only used for non-moveable blocks such as “if <> then”, “wait () sec”, “delete this stamp” etc otherwise it's just not going to run the script and for “delete this stamp” it's the same thing as “delete this clone”

This is why I want to add two blocks.

…so worse clones

I agree with this person, no support

ametrine_

why not just use clones?

Scyth3d

Ehhh. The only use case for this is to exceed clone limit. Ima say no support although it is annoying to work around this all the time

We already have:

when I start as a clone

So, a coded stamp wouldn't be necessary.

What about this:

when I start as a pen trail :: pen hat

First off, this update would need the stamp system completely reworked, since currently stamps just change the color of the background (or pen layer? oversimplificaiton I know but this is basically what happens)

Second, if this was implemented, these would just be practically identical to clones. This is redundant, I don't agree with this suggestion.

I do not see why we would need this, we already have clones.

The problem is that pen is not supposed to work like tht (many said it above alr) we have clones that move around. Pen extension things are not nmeant to be programmed as new sprites but rather they just allow existing sprites to paint, stamp and leave lines instead.

That's the thing, it doesn't exist.

Pen drawings are pngs rendered in the stage (they’re not even saved in the project). Keeping track of which stamp is which would defeat the entire purpose of the stamp block. Use clone blocks instead.

Dan0da0man

yeah i agree with what everyone is saying. this is just a low resolution way to get around the clone limit, so no support.

What about

Wait () seconds and then delete this stamp. :: pen hat

There will be no little bump at the bottom
