Pen size doesn't change?

So basically i have this dot and as it goes to the top of the screen i want it to leave a trail. The trail is there, but i also want the pen size to progressively increase. What i have now is (some terms might not be right, i'm using a different translation):

When i get "vasara"
wait 3 secs
show
pen color=(yellow)
pen down
glide 5 secs to x:0 y:180
repeat until touching edge:
  pen size increase by 50

But the pen size doesn't go higher. What should i do?

Re: Pen size doesn't change?

Ah - Scratch always finishes one block's commands first (in tis case, the "glide" block). Try putting the "repeat until touching edge""increase pen size" in a different script - that way, it should change  smile  You can start that script with the same "when I recieve" as the other one.

Hope this helps  smile
