When i overlap a sprite, the dialogue doesn’t appear at the bottom of the screen. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums!! Try making a textsprite (using the text extension) and then set a sprite flag where is textsprite (or whatever you want to call) it and then set the X Y and BOOOM. Hopefully works. 🤗

I believe that the “on start” is only run once, when you start the game. So unless mySprite is touching “fish” the millisecond the game starts, then it won’t work. You have to put that code in its own separate sandwich block, the “on sprite of _player_ overlaps with other sprite of kind _Enemy_”.

you can also use sprite say block and the text will appear over that sprites head
