And if you only want to destroy certain tiles, there’s an easy tweak to the code: > **[selective-wall-destroying](https://arcade.makecode.com/90892-02339-97663-96165)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Thanks @richard! I totally get what you are doing… really clever. However it’s kind of a long way to go for removing a tile that should be just removed if the projectile overlaps it. Anyways… this forum is amazing and teaching me lots of nifty stuff. Best regards //A ---

@izno thanks for the feedback. I agree this is not ideal, I’ve opened an issue for it [here](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues/1783) with a proposal for a new block. ---

The sprite also can’t overlap the wall you’d have to use if mysprite hitting wall ---

I know this topic already got resolved, but I may have a fix that’s fairly simple. ⬇ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/8/87e9e79aea51cd2581d47c1a5df15360350b1b2c.png) The code wasn’t working because you were using an overlap block, but because the tile was a wall, the projectile wasn’t able to overlap it. The code above typically works for me when I’m using projectiles to remove walls and stuff like that. ![download](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/c/c7ff1fe0aac6f35862617ca8dfe43a516b824b8a.gif) This is the code in action. I hope this helps.
