Hey folks!
I whipped up a tiny new extension today for a game I’m working on and I thought I’d make a post about it since it’s pretty useful. I present: riknoll/arcade-multi-events
> **[GitHub - riknoll/arcade-multi-events: A MakeCode Arcade extension that makes it easier...](https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-multi-events)**

> A MakeCode Arcade extension that makes it easier to create events for multiple sprite kinds at once
This extension gives you new versions of all of the normal sprite events:
- on created
- on destroyed
- on overlap
- on overlap tile
- on hit wall
Except now you can pass multiple sprite kinds at once instead of just one!
And, in the case of on overlap tile, more than one tile as well!
But that’s not all! This extension also gives you an extra version of each block which can be used locally. Now you can define your events using a loop!
Enjoy!

This is awesome, just what we needed! So much code can now be optimised!

I kinda slept on this before realizing that FF:F REALLY needs this one. Nice!

this block doesn’t work right (idk how to explain it): [on (sprite) of kind (Player) overlaps (otherSprite) of kind (Player)]

small example of this extension being used:

wasd (or arrow keys) to move. z & x (A & B) do nothing. you play as the gray square. run from the red square, the small red pellets, and the shooter thingy. kill the red square using the small red pellets.

@richard what have you done? You just don’t know how much this is to me.

Took me a hot minute to figure out how much optimization I could really do with this.
Question, could I use multi overlaps with jerwundls (I don’t know how to spell it, and I won’t bother.) sprite utils extension and use the on sprite update every 500 milliseconds in the multi overlap? If you need an example I can provide one, I know I’m not great at explaining things.

yeah, give me an example. not 100% sure i know what you’re getting at

does this work?
I was asking this because they both ask ¨Sprite¨ but they can both mean different things.

i think that should work fine, though you won’t be able to reference the outer sprite inside the inner event.
that being said, be careful doing that! overlap events fire every frame so this will keep re-registering the update code unless you change the kind or something

I may not be correct, but i think if you replace the mysprite with othersprite it might work

You should probably forcebrute the parameters just to make sure.
Go into JavaScript or Python and modify
```auto
function(sprite, otherSprite)
```
just to make sure, you know?

@richard I’m confused as to why this extension (along with most other overlap functions in the code) doesn’t seem to be working in Greenwood War. here’s the game:
> **[Greenwood War Ch. 1](https://arcade.makecode.com/S92954-03206-34806-55361)**
>
> Uhhhh @richard please help
(Everybody else: NO THIS IS NOT A FREE SNEAK PEEK. THERE’S NOTHING NEW IN THE GAME.)

you’ve gotta give me more information than that if you want me to help… what code isn’t working? what file is it in? how do i trigger the code in your game?
