Title: Changing sprite using animator
Post by: TerraCo on August 14, 2014, 11:11:03 PM

Hi,

I am trying to change sprites in an object at certain points during an animation. Imagine Street Fighter with each body part being a different sprite.

The only way I have been able to do it is through code, which is a nightmare for my animator as he has to run the game each time he wants to see a change.

Is there a way to update the sprite in an animation?

Thanks,

Terraco

Yup, create an intermediate script and animate its value.

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. [ExecuteInEditor]
4. [RequireComponent(typeof(UI2DSprite))]
5. public class Sprite2DAnimator : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public UnityEngine.Sprite sprite;
8.  
9.     UI2DSprite mSprite;
10.  
11.     void Awake () { mSprite = GetComponent<UI2DSprite>(); }
12.  
13.     void Update () { mSprite.sprite2D = sprite; }
14. }

Edit: Although... I don't remember if that field will show up in the animator in 4.5...
