Troubleshooting:- If the sprite animation is stuck to the first frame of the sprite then you need to use a dedicated GPU, instead of your integrated graphics, or need to update the drivers for the integrated graphics. Here nodename is the name of the node to which the sprite sheet texture is applied (affecting node supplied in the action parameter). To use the CC variables, simply use the inbuilt set or change a variable action and then use the variable name that will be in this format. You can use Coppercube variables to set startframe and endframe and animationtime (speed). You can also use some Coppercube variables to control the extension settings during the gameplay. For example, if your sprite sheet has 12 columns and 8 rows, fill them in the rows and columns field, specify the AnimationTime( it is the time one frame takes to switch to another frame ) then specify the StartFrame and EndFrame for your animation, it is the number of tiles (sprite) through which you want the animation to get started and the number(index) of the sprite at which you want the animation to end. Usage:-Īttach this action to any behavior and fill the parameters, Select the Affecting_node (the node on which the sprite sheet texture is applied), Set the base_material_type, and a number of rows and columns according to the sprite sheet.

This extension might also increase the game performance, as it will be using only a single texture so that the game won't use multiple load texture commands and not use multiple render calls, so the fewer the render calls for the textures the faster your game performance will be.Ĭheck out the demonstration video on the right on how to use the extension and how it will work. meaning you can choose from which row or column (tile) the animation should start playing and then end on which column. It also allows you to specify the Start Frame and End Frame for the animation. You can specify the total number of columns and rows in your sprite sheet and the extension will automatically prepare the animation for you from that info. You looked at the sprite sheet above of the green Dino up there, here is the result of using that sprite sheet with this shader action. This shader action will allow you to use a single image for your character or object and will allow you to animate the character using the sprites from that single image, just like any other sprite sheet animation system. This is best suited for 2D games and works with all sprite sheets that can be cut on the basis of rows and columns. A CopperCube extension that allows you to use 2D Spritesheets in your app or game.
