How do I animate different instances of a 3D object billboard?

Hello,

I checked the 3D Top Down Shooter Template, and followed it to make my 3D object.

So my setup is:

1- PlayerObject: Parent Sprite, used for movement in the world.

2- PlayerObject3D: 3D object as a child of PlayerObject, using its Bottom face to show graphics.

3- PlayerSprite: Sprite object with animation. Used as a Bottom Face Object for PlayerObject3D.

All is working fine, until I want to add many instances of this Player.

Each instance animates differently (shoot, idle, ..etc), yet, all of them use the same object for their animation. So if I animate PlayerSprite to Shoot animation, that would make all instances show the Shoot animation?

How can I animate each instance separately???

Thank you.
