Oh, side move would be release next version, in fact, in which I plan to add a block to turn off move control inside extension, and then you can do it by the traditional “move sprite with buttons”. ---

Oh, sorry for that! It may be caused by differrent project names, I renamed in branch, and forgot to change back when merge. It doesn’t cause error in my test project, so I missed it. Try to delete the jump-raycasting ext please, and upgrade again please, the new version should be v0.3.6 So sorry for that again! Let me know please if it fixed. ---

**[v0.3.9 released](https://github.com/AqeeAqee/pxt-raycasting/)** , with 2 valuable features: # support for sprite.sayText() of Arcade - create sayText as usual, auto takeover by extension - no new block or extra action needed - auto scaled depending on distance of sprite - Note: have to sign the “timeOnScreen” value, for it has no default value, though it’s optional. - Note: doesn’t support sprite.say() which has been deprecated already. # new block to check overlap in Z dimension - block: “ **is Sprites (sprite1) and (sprite2) onverlap in Z dimension** ” - or function: “isSpritesOverlapZ(sprite1, sprite2)” - best work with original “ **on spirte kind overlaps other kind** ”, which worked at X&Y dimension. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/98aad9cb1f5e4a440d3039b14ef0cde70943398a.png) > **[demo\_pxt-RaycastingV0.3.9](https://arcade.makecode.com/48334-41673-84191-43936)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---
