Hi, **I am now trying to:** 1. Make it so when mysprite overlaps with a tree, it shows its status bar, and when the character walks away it disappears. I’m actually making some progress! However, now I’ve got this blinking issue of the status bars… What I did was: on game update every 500ms, the game checks whether mysprite is overlapping with any of the trees. If it ISN’T; it makes ALL the status bars for the trees invisible… When my sprite overlaps a tree, it makes THAT status bar visible… I’ve tried putting in a variable with an IF statement on the game update 500ms but I haven’t got it quite right. > **[Tree Chopper V0.5](https://arcade.makecode.com/53728-14770-80888-35371)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

Instead of looping over all of them, you just want to turn invisible on for the status bar attached to the sprite you’re checking. Like this: ![Screen Shot 2021-05-03 at 9.38.31 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/6/64c9e20a90a9b5000871fd85262cfbad1d5de1f5.png) ---

Omg it seems so obvious now! Thanks. ---

I am working on a dual-type inventory system… The first part is with text sprites and the other is with regular sprites… I am using Text Sprites for an inventory system for collectible resources (such as wood, stone, ores etc) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/3/39cc14761db07ebcc95f72a82bf59b6bfb4a1681.png) They seem to behave as lists? How can I create an array of an array so that when I want to add more ‘resource’ types, I can just append them to this list? Best wishes Woody ---

Here’s the updated source so far… please ignore the random floating sprites (they’re a start of my inventory components…) > **[Tree Chopper V0.61](https://arcade.makecode.com/51152-71907-79481-69708)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

@WoodysWorkshop you can just place another array block inside of the first one! We actually did something like this [on stream yesterday](https://forum.makecode.com/t/arcade-advanced-stream-252-calendar-game-pt-1/7816). We wanted to create a schedule where each day of the week had an array of numbers. Here’s what that code looked like: ![Screen Shot 2021-05-04 at 9.19.47 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/98fcc0b0157e2679173046bb388465b09e37f687.png) The inner loop in this case is filling each day of the week with “-1” which we decided meant “nothing is scheduled”
