Option for four directional sprites.

Remember, just because you request it, that doesn't mean you'll get it.

Option for four directional sprites.

Post by sergeirocks100 »

I'm currently developing a FPS game, and because i'm not the greatest spriter, i decided to use 4 directions for the enemies.

As i discovered, there doesn't seem to be an option for 4 directional sprites, only 1, 8, or 16.

I did find hacks involving spreading out four sprites over 8 or 16 directions, but i can't think of any reason why there shouldn't or can't be a actual, proper way to use 4 sprites.

I would imagine that it would work in the same way as the 8 or 16 direction sprites, except it would only use the cardinal sprite directions(1, 3, 7, and 5).

I did find a few other threads about this, but they didn't seem to go anywhere, so i decided to give it a shot.
