How bout this? > **[W1ld : Cats Unsigned\_Arduino's edits](https://arcade.makecode.com/63705-80227-67723-68632)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. Cleaned up the code, accidentally added the sprite data extension, removed about 20 unneeded variables, (sorta) fixed the pictures, and holding down `B` while touching a cat will slowly deplete the other cats health, but you might get scratched too! ---

Wow! Thank you! The problem with the ¨b¨ button is that when you defeat one cat, it doesn’t really defeat it because once you go to the next bush to trigger another cat, it does not spawn another. ---

I was in edit code when I noticed that the system could not run the code. When I put debug mode on, it said that the ¨on button released¨ code did not work. Is there another way to have the cat ¨walk¨? ---

That’s, weird. Are you running the code I posted right above? It works for me ---

Yep. But I added som music to the start screen. As soon as I deleted the music it was working again. Weird ---

Ahh, if you did so using the `play melody` block it was likely pausing in the on start; play melody pauses until the melody completes so you can play them one after the other - you can see that here where it won’t turn the screen red until after the music stops > **[Untitled](https://arcade.makecode.com/51319-75535-05634-60556)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. One thing you can try is running the music in a forever loop, based off whether or not the user has ended start screen; sort of like this: > **[Untitled](https://arcade.makecode.com/03003-18019-22658-72680)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Is there a way to say ¨on destroyed sprites of the same kind¨ or something? ---

There is an “on destroyed sprite of kind” block in the sprite toolbox! ![Screen Shot 2020-08-24 at 10.23.33 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/4/4f013821f2ed41e878e2e3982820f480d758c0bd.png) ---

Thanks, but I was trying to find out if there is a way to say **ALL** sprites of the same kind, not just one. I think I have figured out another way to begin another level though. ---

This would destroy every enemy on screen ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/6/662a0974310c5ae2fe3d4cb7e80f3d27e65e06b3.png) ---

@richard I hope I can add to this post, as I am having a similar issue with sprites and auto destroy. Within a tilemap, I have the set the cars to auto destroy themselves. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/c/cd050e09ec73b1bf6bdc8dbc4bd0af7cfe3c40f0.png) When any car hits a wall, in the code I create a sprite and want to set to the other side (for now I put it somewhere in the middle). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/3/38fbedae6b0fbe00b41f6c7dcd7a99bf052a3819.png) The issue I am having is, the blue cars to the left of screen stay there. When a move the player to the right, the camera scrolls right, and when I go back that cars are gone. > **[Frogging Hard](https://arcade.makecode.com/82643-76982-64792-85479)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

The `AutoDestroy` flag means ‘destroy when the sprite is out of our viewport’; so destroying when they move offscreen is the correct behavior. It sounds like what you want is actually the `destroy on wall` flag: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/9c80e4c9f04ca11feefe614bb3ec57d08ee1a15f.png) to make it so the sprite colliding with the wall gets destroyed / triggers the `on destroyed` logic
