Hi @jwunderl , After seeing one of the arcade advanced streams, I am using your status bar extension for my Dangerous Dave clone [https://github.com/mintgenie/daveawesome\_lvl3\_beta](https://github.com/mintgenie/daveawesome_lvl3_beta). I wanted to know how to know if I have to attach a status bar to a sprite of can i use it based on fuel values only. Thanks in advance ---

Attaching to a sprite just makes it move around the screen with the sprite (sort of like the sprite say bubble) - if you just want one to represent a fuel bar for your user in the corner of the screen, then you won’t want to attach it to the sprite ---
