Title: How to load a v2 Sprite Animation in C#
Post by: partyson on June 12, 2013, 07:24:22 am

I have v2.  And I have a sprite animation in my resources folder, but cannot figure out how to load it in C#, give it a position, and play it.

The closest answers I've found are:

Here you go

Code: [Select]

tk2dSpriteAnimation library = Resources.Load("TheSpriteAnimation", typeof(tk2dSpriteAnimation)) as tk2dSpriteAnimation;
GameObject go = new GameObject("NewSprite");
go.AddComponent<tk2dSprite>();
tk2dSpriteAnimator animator = go.AddComponent<tk2dSpriteAnimator>();
animator.Library = library;
animator.Play("ClipName");

Ah ha!  Ok, I think I was putting a "Sprite with Animator" in my resources folder, not the "Sprite Animation" library.  Took me a while to figure out the difference between Collections, Animations, Sprites, and Sprite Animators.

In case someone else gets stuck, here's some help:

• Create a Sprite Collection: http://www.unikronsoftware.com/2dtoolkit/docs/2.00/tutorial/creating_a_sprite_collection.html
• Create a Sprite Animation (Library): http://www.unikronsoftware.com/2dtoolkit/docs/2.00/tutorial/creating_a_sprite_animation.html
• Drag that Sprite Animation Library into your Resources folder.  Then the code above will work.
• ...
• Profit!

Much thanks for the speedy reply!
