It would be nice to have a block that stamps the shape of the current costume on the stage in the colour of your choice.

stamp with colour [#4d97ff] :: pen

Here's an example:

when gf clicked
switch costume to [cat-a v]
stamp with color [#000000]::pen

and here's the result:

Original Stamped


Using the graphics effect block as a workaround will not work with most costumes or colours.

stamp with color [#194bff] :: pen

stamp with colour graphic effects

semi support. I think you can set the appropriate graphic effects, stamp, then set them back. however, scratch is an INTRODUCTORY programming language.

This is a really interesting and cool concept.
A lame workaround that accounts for a very specific case is this:

set [brightness v] effect to (-100) //(or 100)
stamp

This makes it stamp either a fully black or fully white version of the sprite

ah, yes, black and white, very useful for creating an Unus Annus throwback.

that doesn't mean cool or advanced features shouldn't be added, as I'm sure you know. and besides, this wouldn't be too hard to get the hang of either.

Yeah, I know there are workarounds for single-colored costumes, but it's kind of hard to use the color effect blocks to get the color right. For costumes with more than one color in it, it would only be possible to do it in black an white with your example.

This would be very helpful for all sorts of things. Here's an example: let's say you want to make a pixel art project with 20x20 squares as the pixels, but it's hard to do without excessive cloning and if you use the pen, you have all those rough edges. This would fix those problems!

Use costumes to stamp different blocks!

Stamps occur on costumes. Costumes can make what color you want.
Or, use color effect for different colors. Black and White can be painted.

full support. im not using like 16 million sprite costumes in an easy to use paint editor that i might be working on

I think you could make a grayscale version of your costume, and then have the sprite switch to that costume, change the colour and brightness effects, stamp, and change its colour and costume back. That could be done with a custom block.

Nope, tried it out but it doesn't work.

I made this workaround. It's very slow and inefficient, having to scan the entire stage, but improving it is left as an exercise to the reader. Even so, I don't really like it and would much rather just have the block.

I know it is very, ver slow. that is why we should add stamp with color.

stamp with color [#DF1015]
