  • Hi all, new to this and gradually developing a game idea i've had for a while...

    I'm not sure if this is possible... but is there any effective way to change elements of 2d sprite clothing?

    For instance imagine a standard 2d animated sprite walking around a top-down environment.

    They then pick up a white t-shirt, then a blue t-shirt... then maybe some red shoes, then some yellow shoes etc. etc.

    Without wanting to make and animate all the possible variations (there would be a LOT), is there an effective way to 'layer' animations?

    Thanks for any advice.

  • If you only need to change the color of clothes, the easiest solution would be to use Replace Color effect.

    If the images need to be different (t-shirt, long-sleeve shirt, coat etc.), you will have to attach clothes to the player using Pin behavior or hierarchy. With an animated player this may be a difficult task - you'll have to define image points for each piece of clothing in all animation frames, and probably create multiple animations for each piece of clothing as well.

    This is interesting... it might be that I can replace the colour of sprite elements for version 1... then look at a more detailed solution in future iterations.

    One more item ticked off the list :)
