Hello!

The Add/Remove “component” block is not working. Well, at least what I can say with certainty is that when that block is used with other blocks, let’s say “set component’s x speed to 20” it does not work. It used to work before. I have other projects where it was working but now it does not.

Wouldn’t a negative speed just be… stopped?

1. Is the SharkGroup getting created? How do you know? Is the SharkGroup a sprite or a group?
2. Does it work to set the speed to a positive number such as 30?

Hello @xavier.mvlsmts Welcome to the community  
At the moment there is an issue when Canvas blocks are used inside “Create Sprite Type” block.  
We have flagged it to our engineering team and will provide an update as soon as possible.
