I have 5 different sprites.  
I need to create one randomly every 5 seconds forever.

Ok, go ahead. You don’t need anyone’s permission to do that.

Hi there,

The Create Sprite block doesn’t allow you to dynamically select a Sprite to create.

Would it work in your app if instead of having 5 types of Sprites, you have 1 Sprite type with 5 images?

That way you can use blocks like this to create 5 different-looking sprites forever:

You can take a look at this project yourself [here](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/608067726885110012fe33b5/)!
