How do I replace assets.

Lets say for my game I have object 1. I have been using object 1 for a number of things...but realized I really should use object 2.

How can I replace my object1 events to instead be object 2?

This is mostly related to art and sound assets.

Would I have to re-write those events to use the new object?

Why not using families ?

I don't feel families would solve the fundamental issue.

For instance if I was using family 1 but need to use family 2 instead.

I'm wanting to know if there is a way to swap assets. Even for something simple, lets say I clone/copy a sprite and I want the copy to take the place of the original. Is this type of thing possible? Or do chunks of code/events have to be entirely re-written.

I am currently doing a project where my art, animations and sounds are not final. Importing new art that may need to replace old art would then be a problem. Some things serve a specific purpose and if there is only a single object...a family seems redundant, a potential work-around maybe, but I think it still shows a flaw or issue in workflow if the assets then evolve to no longer fit in the family, the issue comes back to how can I swap assets/events for other objects.

You can import image frames to the object and make the frame speed to 0, then you can change the image as you like.

I hope this will help, because i don't understand exactly what you want to achieve.

Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.

Rather annoying though. Hopefully one day there will be a better way of doing this.
