My Sprite disappeared and there is not hide block activated
I have no idea what happened. Everything was working fine and then I added another sprite and the main sprite disappeared but when I run the animation it shows the missing sprite in motion according to the changing x and y coordinates. I need this for an assignment - please help!

Share the project and link it here. My guess would be that the 1st one is underneath the new one but without seeing it we can only guess.
Use:
to check.
Use:
go to front
show

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/178120787/ Here it is. Its supposed to be a little yellow guy from the scratch spite library that travels through the woods avoiding ‘trouble’ to get back to his/her spaceship to go home. The idea is it will be projected on a wall in a gym for children to practice their rock wall climbing abilities. Thank You.

You must have accidentally hit the hide block. Just grab a show block from looks and place it directly under the green flag script on Gobo. That will fix it.

In the sprite panel you can always right click to choose hide/show. Which option is available tells you if it is currently hidden or showing.
If it's showing then try manually running a ‘go to front’ block, clear graphics effects and a goto 0,0 block. If that still doesn't do it check the costumes - is the costume off-centre or matching whatever is behind it.
I think that covers everything except the size of the sprite but Scratch should still be showing it at that stage so just check the size so you know what to expect.
(@ScratchDuel has already covered most of this.)

The same thing happened to me, you will have to go to looks, and scroll down to show. Click it and your sprite should appear.

Welcome to the Scratch forums! I would suggest My sprite turned to nothing when I made it broadcast a message and added some more code to a different sprite there is no hide block activated (I checked) when I tap on the code to run it everything works fine but when I press green flag it doesn't appear please help! creating your own topic for your question - that makes it easier for others to find (compared to posting on a separate thread).
It would also be a good idea to share your project and include a link to it so others will be able to see what exactly needs to be fixed.
