SpriteMultiSet

#1

is the SpriteMultiSet even working?
there is a documentation page on it: http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/index/spritenewspritemultiset

but the example is very short and doesn’t get to the point of creating a new sprite. I can’t seem to get it to work and googling for it showed only threads of people complaining about not being able to use it, there are no pages, no examples of someone using it correctly.

soo… does it work at all? if so, could you provide a working example?

thank you,

Here is an example of it working.

  
local idleSheet = sprite.newSpriteSheetFromData( "Idle.png", require("Idle").getSpriteSheetData() )  
local walkSheet = sprite.newSpriteSheetFromData( "Walk.png", require("Walk").getSpriteSheetData() )  
  
local spriteSet = sprite.newSpriteMultiSet(   
{  
 { sheet = idleSheet, frames = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30 } },  
 { sheet = walkSheet, frames = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 } },  
})  
  
sprite.add(spriteSet,"Idle",1,30,500,0)  
sprite.add(spriteSet,"Walk",31,43,450,0)  
  
local spriteInstance = sprite.newSprite(spriteSet)  
spriteInstance:setReferencePoint(display.BottomCenterReferencePoint)  
spriteInstance.x = 175;  
spriteInstance.y = 350;  
  
spriteInstance:prepare("Idle")  
spriteInstance:play()

Thanks

I cant manage to get this example to work, it makes my simulator crash and die?

Using the exact code above and having 2 sheets by 512x512?

hej matthew!

shouldnt

sprite.add(spriteSet,“Walk”,31,43,450,0)

be

sprite.add(spriteSet,“Walk”,31, 13 ,450,0)

frameCount
Number: The total number of frames in the sequence. Must be a positive number.
