Hey there, I am currently making a game but I have an error that I need help with. This is the game:  
[new arcade game](https://makecode.com/_TEMVepDue2J9)

In the game, when I try to select “P0rt3r” as my character, he always comes with a duplicate for some reason. It would be great if someone could help me with this as I have been trying to fix it for a long time. Thank you and I look forward to your responses.

I looked at your code, and it doesn’t seem like there is anything wrong with it. This could be a Makecode error, but I don’t know. What I would do to try and fix it is to see if you can destroy the duplicate, or destroy the original and use the duplicate. I haven’t encountered this error before, so I don’t know much about it but I hope this helps.
