Pen Line block
what if Scratch had different pen line blocks? (the pen line is the line made from putting a pen down on a sprite and moving the sprite somewhere else)
so the block would look like this:
solid ────────────────
dashed - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
dotted · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·
dot dash - · - · - · - · - · - · - · - · - · -
long dash – – – – – – – – – –
two dash - – - – - – - – - – - – - –
double line ================
so the block would look like this:
set pen line type to [solid v]::penheres a crude representation of what it would look like:
set pen line type to [dashed v]::pen
set pen line type to [dotted v]::pen
set pen line type to [dot dash v]::pen
set pen line type to [long dash v]::pen
set pen line type to [two dash v]::pen
set pen line type to [double line v]::pen
solid ────────────────
dashed - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
dotted · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·
dot dash - · - · - · - · - · - · - · - · - · -
long dash – – – – – – – – – –
two dash - – - – - – - – - – - – - –
double line ================

Tip: you can turn these non-existent blocks into pen blocks by adding “::pen” to the end of each block
Will turn into
[scratchblocks]
set pen line type to [solid v]::pen
set pen line type to [dashed v]::pen
set pen line type to [dotted v]::pen
set pen line type to [dot dash v]::pen
set pen line type to [long dash v]::pen
set pen line type to [two dash v]::pen
[/scratchblocks]
set pen line type to [solid v]::pen
set pen line type to [dashed v]::pen
set pen line type to [dotted v]::pen
set pen line type to [dot dash v]::pen
set pen line type to [long dash v]::pen
set pen line type to [two dash v]::pen

Support. This is handy in maybe making some graphical or “temporary” lines.

No support, the workarounds are too fun! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1386143897/
Edit: Really though, I know the workarounds get more complicated when you're dealing with moving more than, you know, one pixel every frame. I think the way you should actually start coding a workaround is with a script like this:
Then you can use that to workaround any other movement, like “go to some other sprite” becomes:

define go to (sprite) and draw a dotted line
point towards (sprite)
move (distance to (sprite)) steps

I think the pen thing is a good idea ,there should also be a box to type how spaced out the dotted lines should be.
