I did search but didn’t find solution. How do keep the sprite from “drifting” once I drop it? I saw this thread, but no resolution before the thread closed. > [@Sprite Drifting on it's own](https://community.thunkable.com/t/sprite-drifting-on-its-own/1728961): > > Good morning everybody.

I was able to prevent this when I set the sprite type Is Static to true. I tried the block below but it did not work in case anyone may wonder. But with the Is Static to true I’m unable to get it to drift at all anymore. Hopefully this solves the problem, can others comment on this? There’s 3 posts about this but this one below was locked for inactivity. > [@Sprite Drifting on it's own](https://community.thunkable.com/t/sprite-drifting-on-its-own/1728961): > > Good morning everybody.
