pasting an animated sprite from cap to cap.

Hi everyone,

I read yesterday that copying some stuff from one cap to another could result in strange bugs. To what does this apply please ? I'm creating a single app with the character i'm animating so they're ready for the programmer, and i'd like to know if it might corrupt our game please ?

Thanks in advance.

As long as all the object names, variables, etc in the new cap there shouldn't be any big issues.

But you have to make sure all objects related exist exactly as in the other before you start.

When dealing with sprites it can get quite complicated, there's frame times, hot spots, image points, blah, blah, blah, blah.....

Thanks a lot. I'll do this.

I still wouldn't try it. With the amount of time it takes to make a game, its worth the peace of mind to simply recreate it.

Don't do it, it's not worth the risk.

It's strange that you cannot simply copy an object from one cap to another without risking corrupting your game. Well, i think we'll give it a try with a saved copy of our game, and see if it works. Thanks .

Even if it seems to work it can still potentially have messed up something that's not apparent. It's an unfinished feature - really, do yourself a favor and recreate it.
