Hi,

I would like to draw a given area or we say part of a sprite.

For example, the sprite is a full-size image, and I just want to draw part of it by given area's start x,y, width, and height.

I don't want to set the frames and make other settings for this, because I want to load the image from URL when the game is running, and then draw part of the content when the game needed.

and thanks Kyatric Ashley

So you want to cut out a part of the sprite? Try blend modes. Click File-New in Construct editor and select "Example: Blend Modes"

Hi buddy, I have checked the sample. However, I am worried about the performance cost and maybe it can not work on some browser...

And it is not so good for my project to draw the full-size sprite image and then blend to show part of it. The best choice is to just set the sprite size to be the content size I need to draw...

If you are not using blend modes with too many objects/layers, they should work fine on PC in any browser. They may be quite slow on mobile though.

It's not possible to cut off part of the sprite. You can use Paster plugin - add Paster object to the layout, resize and position it correctly and then paste a part of the sprite onto it.
