I’m pretty new to this whole thing of makecode arcade, so sorry if i say anything dumb. Is there a way to make a sprite have a hitbox like a tilemap wall? also, i’m trying to make a dialogue box with little sprites (kind of like visual novel.) i dont know how to do that other than making entire sprites appear, and even then getting them in the right spot is impossible. Think the kind of dialogue boxes and sprite interactions from Dead Plate?? Please help. i have no idea what i’m doing.

Hey! Welcome to Makecode! Unfortunately, there isn’t really a good way to make sprites have hitboxes. Maybe someone else can point you to an extension of some kind. For your other problem, there is a Sprite Say (“ “) block somewhere is the sprites section (It might be called something different). But it doesn’t pause the game while the sprite is saying stuff so you would have to code for everything to stop and also stop the player from moving or something. It looks really good so far! One idea might be to change the little icon of the text boxes to be different depending on which character is speaking, then you wouldn’t have to code all that extra stuff. I think the block to change it is call something like “set dialogue cursor”
