Hello as you can see in the title my game is not working. I think it is because one of the sprites are not named and one sprite/ variable does not have cell structure (however I am not sure). Please help me this is my link to my game [https://arcade.makecode.com/S85430-07680-73351-99430](https://arcade.makecode.com/S85430-07680-73351-99430). (Extra you do not have to do this!) My game has some bugs with walking into walls, and I do not know why if you could please fix that would be awesome. ---

Hey, @sgaurons-pixel! Welcome to the community. > [@sgaurons-pixel](#): > > I think it is because one of the sprites is not named and one sprite/variable does not have a cell structure That may be the problem, or you just didn’t add a title to the function. ---

Using Debug Mode, I can see that the error is here: ![Screenshot 2025-11-12 at 1.56.11 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/2/9/2932bce3b159fab8bc0135ed6c4c5be41c09e7fa.png) You can enter debug mode using the little beetle icon button under the simulator. ![Screenshot 2025-11-12 at 4.43.54 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/d/0d3e65678b1dd149ea1b22e4a7260688a60984c8.png) This error means that either “mySprite2” or “mySprite3” doesn’t exist when this function is called. Looking at your tilemap, I can see that there are no red tiles in your tilemap, which means no "mySprite2"s will be created, which causes the error. Then I went about fixing other issues… I moved this code into a forever block, which makes more sense: ![Screenshot 2025-11-12 at 4.23.45 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/8/c/8cc1c4ed4936fa293f3ccdea99150c7178014dc8.png) I see that your guard is getting stuck on the left wall now. You can fix this with the sprite ghost through walls flag, or by changing the level geometry. Then I fixed your status bar… mess… ![Screenshot 2025-11-12 at 4.35.02 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/a/3/a33b0b34715244b91a0eb186d5b95d1121f711b9.png) Then I realized that you probably wanted to stop the timer when the player’s health is below a certain amount, so I changed it to this: ![Screenshot 2025-11-12 at 4.40.14 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/b/7/b70e28c569235eee5b4ed02b286407e2cd9e1237.png) Also, you can replace all those status bar detection blocks with something like this: ![Screenshot 2025-11-12 at 4.42.22 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/1/e/1ea85928e13392b8808be4865fd7eb02f8dd6993.png) Here is my version of the project: > **[ghost steal](https://arcade.makecode.com/S95026-46606-14007-44721)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---
