I making a random art maker where when you start it switches to a random mode. Then you can toggle the modes using the 1 and 2 keys. Somehow, it doesn't switch modes, and I don't know what's wrong. Help!

Your custom blocks contain forever loops and so never finish which means they will never return to the script which called them, so no mode change!

The mode variable is changing, but a script with a forever in it is already running. The [Mode 1] and [Mode 2] blocks don't ever end because their last block is a forever.
You could do this instead:

Why do you have a modes variable if you aren't using it?

You can put THIS stop block anywhere. You are right about the other two types of STOP blocks.The mode variable is changing, but a script with a forever in it is already running.

Yep! It's very useful when you have 1-sprite projects and you want to ‘start over’ without clicking the flag. Kind of like what this is doing! Plus the [Mode x] custom block never stops, so pressing the button of the mode that's already running won't do anything.Ohh, I didn't realise that it changed shapeCan't put the “stop…” block before the end of a script.You can put THIS stop block anywhere.

Your MODE BLOCKS have FOREVER loops in them, which means they will never return to the WHEN KEY PRESSED script to allow the STOP block to be executed. You can reverse the STOP and the MODE blocks and everything works fine.

3 forum tips for experienced forumers (in no particular order):
- If you are reporting a new forumer's topic to be closed, or moved to another forum, don't mention it, because then, the topic creator will think they will receive either an alert or a block.
- New forumers won't immediately know the rules or terminology of the forums. I have seen this happen hundreds of times (exaggeratedly), especially when experienced forumers (I won't name any) tell new forumers that they are "necroposting", which is when someone posts on an old and resolved topic (especially in the Questions about Scratch forum), causing said topic to be moved to the front page of that forum.
- Using Scratchblocks as a writing style is not blockspam, unless it is not relevant to the discussion. For example, this
How do I make a smooth gliding animation?
is not blockspam, but these
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(my question) = [answered]>
ask [How do I make a smooth gliding animation?] and wait
end
say [Thank you!]when green flag clicked
move (58) steps
play sound [Stock Laughter Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
forever
play sound [Stock Screaming Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
switch backdrop to [internet v]
say [i broke the internet] for (2) secs
turn cw (15) degrees
go to [nearby restaurant v]
next costume
end
are blockspam, and must be reported.when green flag clicked
repeat until <(out of dorito's) = [true]>
broadcast [eat dorito chip v]
end
say [IM OUT OF DORITO'S!!!!!!!!! :(]
play sound [Scream2 v] until done
forever
turn cw (120) degrees
play sound [Scream2 v]
play sound [we have no dorito's sorry v]
end
