I was trying out a code, but when I placed the code for when ‘on sprite of kind overlaps other sprite of kind’ and tested it out, I figured out that it wasn’t working how it was supposed to. Is there anyway I could fix it? Code: [https://arcade.makecode.com/S51126-13355-65440-59010](https://arcade.makecode.com/S51126-13355-65440-59010) (Code is at the bottom of the page) Thanks! ---

“Silvia” is not a used sprite type. Right after you make that sprite, you change the type from Silvia to Player, which is why the ones that are “sprite kind (player) overlaps…” work and the ones that are “sprite kind (Silvia)…” don’t. ![IMG_6559](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/9/1/916d22d3c20eceaa2cdc27a8ff3856c0dd9afd93.jpeg) ---

Are the sprites the proper kind you wanted them to? Are they switched?
