Problem with using text/variables on Canvas blocks

Why does this work?


Output - beaver sprite rotates to face wherever you touch on the screen/

But this doesn’t work:

Output - beaver sprite ignores touches on screen.

Bumping this one to the top

The top blocks use a sprite object but the bottom blocks use the word “sprite” which doesn’t relate to an actual sprite in Thunkable.

Hi Tatiang, I’m trying to create a setup where the behaviour of the sprites on my canvas is governed by text variables - is there no way to do this in thunkable?

I suppose what I’m asking is, how can I create a variable which Thunkable will recognise as a sprite object?

Without that functionality, it would take a hell of a lot of repeated blocks to generate any meaningful animations.
