On the paint editor, you should be able to highlight a piece of your drawing and check a box that says “decoration”. That means that it will ignore whatever you highlighted with the “<touching {v}>” block, and other blocks that deal with touching something, like the “when this sprite clicked” hat block.

Whoah! That's actually a pretty good idea! Full support. I think it means a fundamental shift in how that particular boolean works, though.

300 EMWP for you!

or you could have the decoration be a different sprite that moves to the actual sprite and follows its movement…
or you could use the “touching colour”

But then it looks weird. I know there are workarounds, but in my defence there are workaraunds for almost everything on scratch!

this precise one is easy, unless you have dinamic speeds on that sprite, then you'd have to do twice as many calculations to put the other….

Just dump this in a second sprite.

forever {
go back (999) layers
go to [drawing v]
}

It would still look weird, because it won't follow fast enough. I will make a project example when I'm on a computer.

Why only for vector?

Support!

Lol! XD

Though could you give a few examples on the use of this function?

This project. When the owl comes out it only gets the bat with it's talons or head. The rest is “Decoration”.

I want to make my sprite go out of the screen, but the invisible border messes with my <touching [ ] > boolean. If I made the invisible border decoration, I could have my cake and eat it, too!

Ahh.

(I still can't make that invisible border… )

Using the Vector editor, make a box over your sprite, filled, and any color. Select it, and send it to the back layer. Next, select the transparent color (next to white), and use the paint bucket on the box you drew (don't forget the edges).

You're welcome.

Actually, not necessary, but good for organization and less of a pain in the hindquarters.

This topic is too good too suffocate. (My opinion).
