Hi @Arexcl,

It seems that when sprites are set _relative to camera_, like you here do with the _Weapon_ sprite so that it is always in the correct relative position to the _TorchSprite_ sprite, they are also set to _Ghost_ mode, i.e. no hitbox.

I have updated your code here, where I only have removed _relative to camera_ for the weapon, and instead update its position for every game loop inside an _OnGameUpdate_ block to the same x and y postion as _TorchSprite_:

This quick n’ dirty solution seems to work well enough to me, but according to this discussion, there is a small nuance between wether to do this before or after the camera updates, which you could control to a finer degree by using the _Sprite Utils_ extension:

We have some camera blocks in the scene category that are useful for this. One note: this won’t work inside an “on game update” because the camera doesn’t get updated until after that code gets run. Luckily, I added a block to @jwunderl’s jwunderl/arcade-sprite-util to make this easier: Here’s a link to the example: [https://make…](https://makecode.com/_9FkEaFey5eC9)

I am unsure if this can be solved by other means as well, like reactivating the hitbox periodically or otherwise. That would be a question for a more experienced forum member.
