A Local Clear Block for pen intensive projects!

please be constructive and say why you support

Support, because if you have a lot of sprites using pen, and you want to clear only one sprites pen, it would be a heck of a lot easier

Erase [All v] :: pen

redid the block

My suggestion would involve an update to a block. I know that that's not likely to happen, but here's my suggestion anyway:

An update to the clear block so that it would look like this:
clear [all v] // category=pen

I definetely support this idea. Having to broadcast to all sprites to redraw their items just because i want to erase one line of text etc is so annoying.

Bump.

This would be incredibaly useful, as for my draw project doesnt have a erase button as the only erasing block is the clear all block which is useful, but a local erase block would be extremely useful.

it is very hard to know which clone is which though

This would be a useful addition to Scratch for pen projects.

this isn't how scratch stores the pen data, it would be borderline impossible to implement this without lag/very expensive and using clever trickery

+1!

I believe it still currently is, and the addition of this would make pen so similar to clones that they might as well just become clones that dont run scripts

I support this feature, but to be more specific, I name a list of useful blocks:

go to layer ( v) :: pen // the layer menu is like the broadcast message menu

clear [all v] :: pen

clear [this layer v] :: pen // everything that is drawn on this layer will be erased, use "go to layer ()" block; this and the one above would be one block

set pen mode to [make nothing v] :: pen // = pen up

set pen mode to [draw v] :: pen // = pen down

set pen mode to [erase v] :: pen // eraser

I don't think that's how pen works…
