Coding Q&A
1

It works when we change the coding to “play sound” or “say” when touching spaceman occurs - but does not “show.”

Any help would be appreciated.

You might try detecting with these code blocks instead:

Increase or decrease the number in the code block to make it easier to detect the spaceman or harder.
