When you destroy a sprite with an effect, the sprite is destroyed instantly and only appears on the screen visually for that time, so it won’t trigger overlap events. So because you are creating and then destroying the sprite instantly, it cannot cause overlap events. Try setting its “lifetime” instead to have it automatically be destroyed after an amount of time. One of the options in the “set (sprite) [X] dropdown block. ---

it’s because youre destroying every projectile after they get fired. The object is immediately destroyed but it keeps properties that influence it visually so it can play the animation, so it cant overlap with other sprites. You should opt for setting their lifespan to 200ms instead (which i already did) > **[RE: arcade but fixed](https://arcade.makecode.com/S96277-22213-48488-82290)** > > Residnet Evil for makecode arcade, my first major project I'm delving into. Its a blend of sci-fi and horror you know the classic trope! ---

Of course! I got stuck with the inventory system and now its a buggy mess but I’m trying to work through it. I’d love to see the zombies actually look like zombies and the player to actually look like a human, every tile is just a place holder with their name in the center! ---
