Hello!
Today all projects that use the “Create sprite\_type” command have stopped working correctly.
Project link: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/b476160f2c0ca3d19cdce6aad65567e8](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/b476160f2c0ca3d19cdce6aad65567e8)
In this project, sprites must be created and moved down. But now one sprite is created and remains in one place.
And we noticed a peculiarity: if you copy this project into your account and immediately run the test, everything works. But if you go to “Blocks” and then run the test, the “Create sprite\_type” block stops working correctly.

I also have the same problem,
I tried to “Create sprite\_type” [ST\_bullet] at a [Rocket]'s position and “set the sprite y’s speed to 100” whenever another sprite [shoot\_btn] were clicked – **The result is the sprite was created, but can’t move at y coordinate at all**. Here are the ss of my code:
This is what also makes it peculiar :
When I previewed the following project, it seems to have “create sprite\_type” command working perfectly: [Thunkable – Space Invaders Project](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/61e545bd667f060010d91ab0/9fd3dad3-d5fe-40e3-8cbb-82fd2ac41f76/designer). But when I remixed it, and previewed it from my account, the “create sprite\_type” command seems to be broken – with the same behaviour as I shown above.
So from this case I believe there is a bug related to “create sprite\_type” command
Please fix this @ioannis
