Types/Sprite

Basics

Specifies one picture that can be used in the game.

When there is more than one sprite or animation frame with the same source file and dimensions/position in the game, they all share the same memory.

Properties

filename

Type:Types/FileName

priority

Type:Types/string

Possible values:

• extra-high
• high
• medium
• low
• very-low

width

Type: Types/unsigned

Width of the picture in pixels.

height

Type: Types/unsigned

Height of the picture in pixels

x

Type: Types/unsigned

Default: 0

Horizontal position of the picture in the source file in pixels.

y

Type: Types/unsigned

Default: 0

Vertical position of the picture in the source file in pixels.

shift

Type: Types/vector

Default: {0, 0}

Used to offset the sprite in-game from its bounding box.

Note: positive numbers move the sprite east or south (for the x or y numbers, respectively).

scale

Type: Types/double

Default: 1

Values different than 1 specify the scale of the picture on default zoom. Scale 2 means that the picture will be 2 times bigger on screen (and more pixelated).

Example

   picture =
   {
     filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/basic-accumulator/basic-accumulator.png",
     priority = "extra-high",
     width = 124,
     height = 103,
     shift = {0.7, -0.2}
   }
