so their is a pen sprite following mouse when mouse down draw until not mouse down etc. now I have made a cool lazer out of like 5 red block sprites which each follow previous first one excluding first one, now, i want it to travel up the path drawn by pen(E.G draw straight line when lazer is in contact with that it moves up in same direction). how would I do this?

Hmm, that's a puzzler. Since a line has two ends, do you want the laser to default traveling up or down the line? What if it is horizontal?

I know it probably isn't helpful, but I've posted some quasi-code below (ignoring the most essential part of course tongue )

When gf clicked
forever
if<touching [line color]?>
detect slope of line
point in correct direction
else
default movement
end

@MoreGamesNow
the most essential part being detect slope of line?
then yes

You could put a ton of different colored dots around your laser, and based on which dots the laser is touching determine the angle with trig.

The problem with using pen is that a sprite can't sense through other sprites, so if the "following" laser sprites overlap with the leading laser sprite, glitches could easily occur.
