@BlueYoshi507 no, you shouldn’t use a forever block for this. the forever block might run slightly less often than the game update but it won’t cover up the inefficiencies in the code. you should make the changes i suggested ---

@richard Hey I was wondering if their was a way to add in items during the game like collecting a fish and adding it into your inventory. Thanks! ---

@DefNotRobo sure! you’ll want to use the array version of the create menu block. here’s some sample code: > **[mini-menu-inventory](https://arcade.makecode.com/68977-49072-88280-45990)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Yo @richard If there is a possibility if you could help me with something that uses this extension? So i’m trying to make it so that there are multiple menus, each of them are separately controlled by 1 player each. When I try to plug in the “value” variable to the “Move selection \_\_\_” block, it shows me this: ![Screenshot 2025-01-19 194344](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/8/0/80490271d0813482906cd807232791f08362f4ae.png) Bruh moment Here’s the sample project I am trying to build off of: > **[Help-Separately-Controlled-MiniMenus](https://arcade.makecode.com/37307-99484-51110-91290)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

@redSprite right… this is an issue with how i defined the blocks in this extension. for now, i made a workaround for ya. add this share link to your game as an extension: > **[sprite-as-menusprite](https://arcade.makecode.com/51004-36784-59977-38641)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. this will add a single block to the “Custom” category in the toolbox: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/6/e/6e508ad921aa2da4e4c2ba885baae03e6c8a38ee.png) this block does nothing but tricks the typechecker into thinking a sprite is a MenuSprite. you can use it to wrap the “value” variable in your example above. don’t use it on a regular sprite, since you’ll probably get an exception. ---

@richard no worries! I had to use an alternative method to get the block… I copied what was in the custom.ts and pasted it into another custom.ts into the project I showed as the one I needed help on. # YIPPEE! Oh and btw here’s the project updated with your block. > **[Helped-Out-MiniMenus](https://arcade.makecode.com/37086-89286-09931-58736)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. > **** > > I’m adding you to my cool people list ---

I have a project where I made a cursor with the Browser Events Extension and I can’t find a way to use that to select things in the mini menu.
