Is it possible to make an in-string command draw anything?

[sprite] seems to be able to draw a sprite, however this:

function cmd_asterisk(el,paramArr,ind){
	draw_text(el.get_glyph_data(0).left,el.get_glyph_data(ind).top,"*");
}

scribble_typists_add_event("*",cmd_asterisk);

doesn't seem to be drawing anything.

This is not what events are for.
