SOLVED Sprites "Lose Their Properties" When Used as a Tile Set

[TheMagician]

As soon as a sprite is used as a tile set, functions like sprite_get_name() or sprite_get_height() can't seem to access it anymore.

sprite_get_name() returns 'undefined'
sprite_get_height() returns -1

Is this intended behavior? I don't find anything mentioned about it in the manual.

Have you flagged the sprite as being exported with the tileset or not? See "disable source sprite export": https://docs2.yoyogames.com/index.html?page=source/_build/2_interface/1_editors/tilesets.html

If the sprite is not being exported then those functions obviously won't work as the sprite doesn't actually exist in the game bundle.

Thank you. That was it. I didn't know this feature existed.
