Pen hiding behind sprites

Hello,

I noticed some problems when using the pen blocks.

Although i implemented as much "go to front" blocks as possible, the sprite using the pen came to front, but when it draws something, it was hidden behind other sprites.

- Used go to front
- Pen sprite came to front
- Also 'new' pen drawings where hidden behind other sprites.

Is this a known problem?
Can i prevent it?

Joren

Re: Pen hiding behind sprites

You can never make the pen draw over other sprites.  The pen can only draws on the background.  There is no way to prevent it from doing this.  I wish it could draw on the sprites.

Maybe you can stamp it?

No matter what you do it will always be behind your sprites

Re: Pen hiding behind sprites

Unless you make your sprite hide when the pen comes to it and make a backround with the same sprite so it can go over and you can still give scripts to your sprite.

Re: Pen hiding behind sprites

The only ways you could simulate the pen drawing over a sprite would be:

1) Stamp the sprite onto the background and then draw over the stamp.  Of course, you then cannot move the drawn-on-sprite.

2) If your pen is limited to certain directions and movement you could make a "drawn on" costume for the sprite.

Re: Pen hiding behind sprites

the real problem is that the pen doesn't work over other sprites,only the background
