How to add sprites sliced in Unity Sprite Editor to NGUI atlas

[technoir]

Hi,

I have sliced up a sprite sheet in Unity's Sprite Editor into individual sprites but they kept as children of the main object once this is applied and cannot be dragged out separately. I was wondering how I can add the individual sprites to an NGUI atlas.

Thanks

You can't mix NGUI and Unity sprites. NGUI allows you to extract sprites from an atlas, but you can't do the same thing with Unity's sprite sheet. If you're using a Unity's sprite sheet, stick to using UI2DSprite to draw them and don't worry about using NGUI's atlases.

Oh I see, OK.
Would there then be a way to splice the sprites from a sprite sheet using third party software instead of Unity's editor in that case, or a tool inside NGUI, in order to get them into a workable atlas?

Thanks

Generally, you would put the individual sprites into Unity and have the atlas maker put them together to a UIAtlas for NGUI to use.

Hi,


Sprite Animation using NGUI:

The video demonstrates the following:
1. How to import a sprite sheet into NGUI
2. How to import a Unity Sprite (Multiple mode) into NGUI
3. Create animation clips (Sprite animations)
4. Attach this animation clip to an NGUI sprite.

I hope this will be useful to you...

Thanks
