Sprite Sheet Help (Solved)

I was wondering if someone can help me with my sprite sheet problem. Since my sprites are not typical size (32x32,64x64,128x128...) I need to rely on a couple sprite sheets filled with my art in order to save space. The game is HD, so every little bit helps. I found other ways to save space, but the art is the bulk of it.

After some reading, I got the impression that C2 creates sprite sheets on export, and I can see that it has done that for animated sprites, but not for all my other sprites. Is that an error? Is there a plugin that can assemble sprite sheets for all sprites in C2 on export?

I also tried importing my own sprite sheets into C2, but I haven't found a way to use a portion of the image as a sprite object in my game without C2 cutting up the image. I tried importing the sprite sheet as a tiled background and resizing the border block over the needed sprite, but I can't seem to set the origin point in a tiled background, which results in only having access to the upper left sprite (without exposing the rest of the sprite sheet).

Is there an effective way I can work around C2 cutting up my sprite sheets?

Chop up the sprite sheet outside of C2 and import them as separate images on one animation? Or did you want to avoid doing that?

That's sounds like a great idea. Would I do that through "properties?" I'm going to test that out now. Thank you for the suggestion!

Excellent!

Such a simple solution, I feel silly for not thinking of it. Good thing plinkie was around! :)

Recap: Add sprites to animation frames, set animation animation speed to 0, and change the "initial frame" to the needed sprite. C2 will then create a sprite sheet for you.

Thank you, plinkie!
