hey so I was working on this game but the console won’t open after I tried adding a few things. I have tried debugging myself, but I think I need a new POV, could you guys help? > **[Control Room(Demo):Night 0](https://arcade.makecode.com/S60501-76892-76035-90586)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

@top_hat_lord it works perfectly for me maybe try A: Reload make code B: copy all the code and put it into a blank project or C: Restart your computer ---

the consoles are supposed to let you move the dial in them when you press A infront of them. Or at least the one with the apps is. ---

Oh, I didn’t know sry if I have any spare time I will take a look at it because it looks like a promising game ---

thanks, and btw what I meant about the app consoles being the only one that’s supposed to do that, is that I haven’t done anything for the other dial console yet, so there is going to be code to make it so you can’t move when “using” that console and can press B to get t of it, like you are supposed to be able to do with the other one, but there is no use for that second console yet, although it is also meant to do that atleast. ---

Hey… so I have had a look at it and this has happened in many of my games basically one of your problems is that for some reason make code is not regeristing that you are touching that block meaning that it is not triggering sry really bad explanation but try making a variable like “if touching” to check for that every game update. I think that might work but it is definitely something to do with touching the other sprite ---

Thanks, I will try your suggestion when I have time to do so. ---

thanks for the attempt at help, but the fix does not seem to have worked. I tried but it seems its not doing anything, although the darn thing knows the A button is being pressed, it just wont seem to change any variables. ---
