I just noticed a new menu item, afterglow blocks (under zoom blocks). What does it do (I'm assuming it puts a delay for the run glow disappearing, but I'm not sure), and when was it added?
10.7.0:
- New Features:
- "Afterglow blocks" setting - lets you specify the number of frames running scripts keep their halo after their process has terminated
basically after a block is run visibly, it will glow for a specified amount of frames based on the setting.
Thanks.
Yes, it adds a delay before the glow goes away. This is more noticeable when clicking a block that runs too fast for the glow to show up, like a move (10) steps block. If you set afterglow to 0, you'll get what would happen before, no glow when clicking that block, but a glow ehen clicking a block that takes longer, like a forever { } block. If you set it to something larger than 0, you'll get a glow when clicking a move (10) steps block, but it'll still run as fast as it did before.
This setting is purely visual and doesn't affect runtime. I prefer setting it to 1 so I can see that the block actually ran when I clicked it, but the default feels too long.
