How do I have variants of sprites?

Hi,

House building game:

Grid of 8, with 8 different houses, so do I need 64 sprite images, or can I have 8 with 8 variants?

Problem is, each plot has 8 possible houses, with a ‘build’ ‘upgrade’ ‘waiting’ etc icons, so I am getting near 200 sprites, let alone the rules behind it!

I have added variants on the sprites, but that does not work.

Please remember, you have to click on them, so I need 'on touch - create house1 variant 1' etc.

Thanks guys.

Why not store the variants as additional frames if the buildings aren't already animated.

Then you could use on touch - change frame.

Use 1 sprite with ...

If the houses animate, different animations.

If the houses do not animate, 1 animation with for each type house a different frame. Set the animation speed on zero in the properties. Choose a frame to show a building.

This shows you the principle.

AHHH,

Yes, I get you.

1 building, 8 frames.

I will see if that works, as I wan to add more money if on a firrent frame, frame1 =£1, frame2 = £2, etc.

I will let you know.

Really, really hard.

Gave up.
