OR if the code existed and the parameter was added in later causing her to put the red none in there. Replacing the red none with a value made the program function but she wouldn't save it happily. We had that trouble with the Towers Of Hanoi Project in Alice 2 and copy paste was the issue. Hope that helps!

The method of the frog object is receiving the property setting of the same object. I can see where this might be problematic, but cannot be sure without more detail.

I see what is going on now? Still this would not have to be a parameter. A local, temporary vehicle variable could be created within the method to store the current property value, and used to reset the property at the end of the method.

James suggestion is a good one. Another possibility would be to manipulate the Scene lighting and Fog properties to create a lighting effect? See the attached image? ? This may be enough for your purposes, as these settings would apply to the entire Scene. If I wanted to create a spotlight effect, I might try to add a sphere object to serve as the spotlight around the object, and play with opacity settings and the environmental lighting / fog to see if I get what I want. See the second attached image? You can see the atmospheric settings, fog, and I set the opacity of the sphere to .4. ? Certainly not great, but it might be worth playing with.
