The Clear Graphic Effects block is a Looks block and a stack block. This block resets all 7 graphic effects (color, fisheye, whirl, pixelate, mosaic, brightness and ghost) on its sprite.

Example Uses

As this block resets all effects on its sprite, the most common use for this block is used whenever all of a sprite's effects must be reset.

Some common uses for this block are:

• Reseting the graphic effect of a sprite when no longer being interacted with

forever
    if <touching (mouse-pointer v)?> then
        set [color v] effect to (25)
    else
        clear graphic effects
    end
end

• When a sprite has to reset itself, going to the X and Y position and clearing its effects

when I receive [reset v]
go to x:(0) y:(0)
clear graphic effects

set [pixelate v] effect to (0)
set [mosaic v] effect to (0)
