Discussion [SOLVED] Adding extra frame(s) from file to sprite's existing list of frames

[camerakid]

Hey Guys,

Actually is there any way to add to your existing sprite's frames an extra frame from file?

The problem for me that in many cases I use like 20-40 subframes and I do have to change them time to time... but as I see in GMS 2 version it is not possible to add only one frame to the existing list or I did not find how to do that...

can anyone please help me out?

Thanks,

Attila

Hiya,

I don't think you can change your sprites like that at runtime. You could generate whole new ones using sprite_add_from_surface or sprite_add. The problem though is that every one made will be on a new texture page.

There is this great looking extension which could help in that respect though? https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/4543/custom-sprite-framework

Thank you for your kind reply.

Amm... I think I have been talking something else... I meant to say not in runtime but in the Sprite/Image Editor... I did not find any way to change only one frame in the Image Editor not all the
sprite frames at once.

EDIT IMAGE: opens Image Editor.
IMPORT only imports and overwrites all frames.
"+" icon adds only a blank frame.

No way to add a frame from file to the frames already in the list.


UDPATE: actually the only way that worked is to open the image separately CTRL+C and CTRL+v will copy a new frame to the list.

Haha ok well ignore my reply But yeah you know I had this problem recently - open sprite to edit then CTRL + F will add from a file as a subimage.

edit. sorry false info, I meant ctrl + shift + a

Thank you. I have tried this shortkey but does not seem to work for me... I will make some more research on this maybe there is another key for that in GMS2.x

 

[ph101]

Ah sorry I should have checked - CTRL + SHIFT + A is the one you want i think

 

[camerakid]

AH thank you that is the ONE!
