I have a big sprite overlapping a small sprite, but nothing happens when they overlap. Anyone know how to fix this?

If the sprite that’s not working is this one:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/b/b680844aadc913e340ca779644ab8de5e92771ec.png)  
then I’d imagine it’s not working because you’re setting it to be a ghost, which means that it will not be able to overlap sprites.
