How do I use sprites to animate a button after it was clicked?

[alexh0101]

After I click a button, I want it to animate with sprites.

The problem is if I use NGUI's button, I can't use Unity's Sprite Renderer which is necessary to use Unity's animation feature.

NGUI seems to have several features linked to sprite animation: "UI2D Sprite Animation", "Sprite Animation", "Play animation".

But what am I supposed to use?

Thanks in advance

2D sprite animation -- it's an example script that shows you how to do it. You choose the frames of the animation, and it will do the rest.

Hi there, thanks for your response.

When you say it's an example script, are you saying that I should do some kind of copy/paste and incorporate it in my own script?

What I want to achieve is to animate the button (replace the button's sprite with an animation of 5 sprites), when the button is clicked. And when this 5-sprite-animation is over, I want a new function to be called.

Is that doable with NGUI?
Note: I'm using NGUI's UISprite component, not Unity's Sprite Renderer.

Thanks a lot

For something like that I'd write a simple script.

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class MyAnimator : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public UnityEngine.Sprite[] sprites;
7.  
8.     void OnClick ()
9.     {
10.         StartCoroutine(MyAnimation());
11.     }
12.  
13.     IEnumerator MyAnimation()
14.     {
15.         UI2DSprite sp = GetComponent<UI2DSprite>();
16.  
17.         foreach (UnityEngine.Sprite u2 in sprites)
18.         {
19.             sp.sprite2D = u2;
20.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
21.         }
22.         // TODO: Call your function here
23.     }
24. }

Nice, clean, and straight to the point. Replace "0.1f" with whatever delay you want it to be.
