Tilesheets

I know these have been asked as I did a search but most posts are from 2009. The sprite packs you can download come with a Jungle platform set and there is a single tilesheet. How do I use this tilesheet? Can I use it as is or do I have to cut it up into individual sprites?

Sorry for the n00bness. <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

N?1 answers your question.

Yeah, guess I should have read that first. <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks Kyatric.

Is it possible to select a specific animation frame from the Layout? I have a sprite with 144 frames of animation, each one part of a tileset. How can I now 'build up' this tile set on screen?

Do you mean something like quick tiling : http://www.scirra.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44521&PID=278825&title=randomly-generated-world#278825 ?

No, I mean being able to pick which frame of the tileset anim to place while in the Layout.

Here I have 2 of the same sprite:

I want the second sprite to be frame 4:

Anyone?

If you mean like the 'Start Frame' option in CC then C2 doesn't have it.

Instead, I used an instance variable called 'frame' and use a 'Start of Layout' condition that sets the animation frame to 'sprite.frame', i.e. the instance.

Unwieldy, but it works.

f you mean like the 'Start Frame' option in CC then C2 doesn't have it.

Yes, to be able to specify what frame to show when laying it down in the editor. May be it's on the 'TODO' list, lol!

I would hope so :)

I think it's the intention to have a 'proper' tile editing system this time, unlike CC, which would make level creation much quicker. At least, that's my fondest hope :/

That's something I'm sure quite a few would like to see.
