Godot 4 Sprite Sheet Animation Tutorial

[@janibatyad]

I found a faster way to add frames: on the right panel Animation section Frame line (where you select the frame you want to add) press the little key icon with the green + sign. It will add the current frame and move to the next one so you need just to keep pressing that button

[@Gwizz1027]

Oh that's really cool I might make a short on that

[@sirwok8545]

Basically everything we needed to know in under 7 mins, keep up the good work.

[@creativehans]

Thank you! Really helped me out getting started with Godot

[@PingsGolf]

Great video, very simple and to the point

[@awli8861]

I have 128 sprites. Isn't there a faster way to make the animation??

[@tekaneo]

You could the AnimatedSprite2D node and drag and drop all your sprites in there

[@CS303]

Hire someone

[@King-mj2bn]

Sure, write a plugin that somehow magically knows how to distinguish animation sequences.

[@awli8861]

@@King-mj2bn sure. Bitmap[] sheet; for (int i = 0; i < sheet.length; i++) { ANIMATION.add(sheet[i], "1ms"); }

[@Screemrocks]

@@King-mj2bnprobably doesn’t have to be magic. Could be something where the user gives coordinate ranges for the sprites that are the animation you want to create. I’m imagining you define the size of your sprite in this plugin, and then click and highlight sprites in your sheet (displayed in the plugin as some interactive thingy) and then title your animation, give it the speed, etc.

Thank you so much! Creating my first game and this video was a life-saver!😊

[@REALmyenemy]

Finally, one that really applies!

[@luckyknot]

Excellent and on point, thanks!

[@CMusician262]

Thank you so much! Very good video, what about a tutorial on getting the animations to play at specific times, fire example the idle animation plays when a character is not moving.

[@navoJ]

@onready var animation = $AnimationPlayer var direction = Input.get_axis("left", "right") if direction: animation.play("Walk") velocity.x = direction * speed else: animation.play("Idle1") velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, speed) Here just add in character code you need to know basic to use it but its pretty simple

[@Red_and_Black_Manic_Artists]

that was everything i needed thanks

[@Gamewithstyle]

Big help! I converted a AnimatedSprite2D into a Sprite2D with an animation player with your help so I can animate some other properties. However, I noticed you set your animations to .5 in this video, but you have 6 frames. Wouldn't .6 complete the loop?

[@LapkaCode]

You right! 👍

[@IAmPrinz]

THANKS SO MUCH MAN! This just what I needed

[@velveteenv76]

Thank you for not using a 9x9 sheet, showing us you need to photoshop into a square amount.

[@arcanealchemist3190]

great tutorial! one thing ive found, is that if you leave the animation length at .5, the 6th frame wont get played as it loops back to the first before it renders. adjusting the length to .6 fixed this for me, really simple. if you first and sixth frame are the same, its really hard to notice, and might even be intended, but for a true 6 frame walkcycle it helps to use all the frames!

[@israeltijero7685]

great tutorial

[@Gwizz1027]

ikr

[@morganp7238]

Great stuff. You got a new sub.

[@kosmosskuggan9827]

I think you're missing your 6th frame by not putting it to 0.6, since it has no time to play. The animation actually stops just before that frame. Another tip: You can change specific animations within an AnimationPlayer by selecting an animation and change the snap value and it will let you be more specific. It is located at the bottom, under the sprites you added to the frame property. Great tutorial though, big thanks!

[@thehyper4288]

great tutorial, can you make one about atlas textures?

[@smiles4655]

Thanks so much for this tutorial!! It helped me a bunch

[@oreofilledjoy302]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!

[@janibatyad]

Great video, thank you so much!

[@jibberism9910]

That's what I was looking for :) Tnx

[@kaizen847]

Thank you for the video! Awesome!

[@erbynmuziqlive]

When I do the .play, my idle animation doesn't pop up as an option. Idk what to do or what I did wrong

[@NevRS32]

Duuude...! What a channel!!! I'm happy! =D

[@Sleet-Sdf93]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@harshwardhanrollno.8476]

Please make a video on character animation with 2d bones

[@rezreb3299]

Классный Туториал👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@GameFolklore]

Great informative video

[@elphie2390]

quick question, how did you know how many sprite assets to make for this? I'm stuck on deciding how to make my sprite sheets

[@Gwizz1027]

Well, it depends on how smooth u want the animations to be, like I know every direction the character should walk, and 6 frames allows for smooth enough motion, but u could do more or less

[@elphie2390]

@@Gwizz1027 ohh ok! Thank you! I was always so confused when looking up references because I wasn’t sure

helpful !

[@Multifandomguy]

I got a question How to make the sprite playback ?

[@aierisfrost8447]

One of my sprites simply doesn't fit in the given space the frame makes I don't know how to fix this

[@FateflyYip]

i am just using AnimatedSprite2D. Is there a way to export the Sprite Frame, so i can config from outside as a scene?

[@micmacha]

When you skipped through the one-twenty four so fast, I thought my KZbin player was broke

[@oskar1504]

nice

[@totaloof]

What programs can I use to make the sprite sheet in the first place?

[@casentinex1339]

Aesprite will be what you're looking for.

[@titaniumarrow8357]

for a second i thought i didnt have frame as a option turn out i was selecting player node and not sprite node im smrt

[@HGamesStudio-cs9dh]

Does using a sprite sheet help with performance?

[@Gwizz1027]

Short answer, yes. Long answer, you shouldn't be focusing that deeply on performance, especially miniscule performance gained from a sprite sheet

[@HGamesStudio-cs9dh]

@@Gwizz1027 ok I was just wondering, because I am making a horror game and I have 70 frames for 6+ animations and it slows it down a lot. but thanks.
