Hello everyone, I am new to MS Makecode arcade and am trying to figure out the following scenario. I have an array of two sprites which are randomly being created at random positions on X axis. All good so far. Now, I want to be able to shoot a projectile from one of the sprites. For that I use if then logic, but it just doesn’t work. See screenhots below. Can you help me figure our where do I make a mistake? If I do not do a comparison, both sprites are correctly shooting projectiles. Thank you! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/e/e4bad0d4fe98a7b9d85e4c9f8f5c2070bb2eb878.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/8/86db22570c2bf31102c4c0467eaa65c95a99fb07.png) ---

You should use the image block in advance or in the sprites section and there is 3 different blocks will help you with that ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/c/c21feba2382e385e2dae3769f9b35ffdd421cb0f.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/9d7a4e100537f17d8597cd9682a810d055931a43.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/4/490495d4ef24be0c2f69e481fcf4da578c96a76e.png) These are the blocks ---

I am sorry for the double post, but I cannot edit the initial one. Here is a screenshot of the working portion: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/0eaec6428d9e99aa32e4deb563f6b4e9a91af2ec.png) ---

These 2 blocks you can use at the same time ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/92ea53a43c64f10b65a976bd67df23663625b31e.png) but you need a boolean **“mySprite.image = image”** or the other one ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/7/7dd4511cfcb9d09cced3fc528f8abc2ad5808ad4.png) That’s you have to use the 1 block just change the variable into the sprite you need like this **“myEnemy is equal to image (image)”** Ye like that I’m sorry if I made it confusing ---
