Works as intended.

If you wanted it to go straight down from where it started, use self X position.

Otherwise, declare its start position before you draw the trail.

uh i’m confused, with this code it’ll certainly draw diagonally

@Crosbyman64

Works as intended.

yep!

I found it, I put it’s set position in the draw a trail block.
although I am confused how that makes a turned line by set position in a block

[Tri-Angle]

just imagine you’re holding a pen and you move your hand to another place. because you’re currently holding it while moving, you have drawn a line - that’s why set position can draw lines too :))
