I can't make proper stars. I've been playing with the Star Tool by pressing keys like CTRL + Arrow buttons, CTRL + ALT. And suddenly I got my Star Tool broken.
What I have:
How it should be:
The problem is that I got these squares inside my star...

While selecting the star tool. Click once on the working area, then u can chose the number of points in the star and inner and outer circles.– MamoonFeb 28, 2016 at 12:37

Or (I believe) you can just press the up/down keys when drawing to change the number of points.– CaiFeb 28, 2016 at 12:39

Mamoon, Yes I can do that, but it doesn't effect my triangle when drawing dinamically (draging). CAI When pressing Up/down keys It actually changes the number of sides.– KatalloneFeb 28, 2016 at 12:42

By the way, while dragging to create the star on he screen, hold cmd on keyboard to change the distance between the outer and inner points. Let me know,– MamoonFeb 28, 2016 at 13:57

Have you also tried holding the Alt button when creating the star while dragging? It resets the distances between the ins and outs.– MamoonFeb 28, 2016 at 14:02

Figured it out.
If you take the Star Tool and go all the way down to only 3 points for the star (first example below) and press Ctrl+Up Arrow Key, you will get that design. Never knew this existed.
To get out of this mode, you need to start drawing a star and press Alt+Up or Down Arrow Key.
ORIGINAL ANSWER
I honestly don't know what you did back there to get those lines inside your star but I know a workaround till someone else comes with a more permanent fix for your problem.
- Select the star tool
- Click on the screen and add 5 to points section
- If you see the lines inside the star, select the whole star and go to Pathfinder > Unite
- Change the background color to yellow and resize the star to fit your needs

It was working fine, not broken at all. Just not doing what you wanted it to do :p– SummerDec 4, 2017 at 16:23
