[Using spriter animation in Construct 3]

Hi guys,

checking Rablo's link above I just found this regarding the API:

AshleyScirra commented 16 days ago

Closing, see this thread for updates: https://www.scirra.com/forum/drawing-plugins-now-supported-in-r68_t197970 We might be missing a few APIs, so post to the forum about them if you need them, but basic drawing APIs are now available.   ...so: @lucid

do you think we have any chance to have an interface support any time soon?

Many thx

Olaf

 

[character map for each instance on construct 2]

Ok... that settles that.. from your reply I got th idea that there was some kind of optimizing going on behind the scenes that would make the several char approach more efficient somehow. Thx for clearifying

Aha! 8-o

Many thanks again, Mike, for helping out so quickly ... it nearly drove me nuts!

Cheers and all the best!

Another thought:

You mentioned somewhere that for "optimization" reasons it would be better to have separate characters instead of using char maps

to vary the looks of sprites.In my case I will have partially different looking chars (like different shirts and caps) but with the same animations... so having different characters seems to me like unwelcome redundancy:

1) regarding animation logic

2) regarding images to be loaded

..so where is the "optimization" that I don't see?

Cheers and many thanks indeed

Hi Mike,

 

I am having a similar problem... but I am missing the solution to this one?!

If it's ok, I will send you my zipped project.

The charMapTest_2.capx works as expected. But charMapTest_multistar.capx does not... the plan is to have each sprite look differently. (turn one star into a red one in my example).

I have looked through posts for hours but I did not find any answer that helped me...  8-(

 

So your help would be most welcome

Cheers

Olaf
