Hi,im currently experimenting with animations in 2d using only meshes for now and I was wondering if using logic bricks to create the animations by replacing images each 3/4 frames would cause more frame drops than using scripting.
An if done in logic bricks what would be the best set up?
Thank you in advance
confirmed = use a cylinder, delete both caps,
Edge split scale faces by eaxh origin so there is a large gap between faces
Each cylinder face that remains = a frame
Rotating the cylinder at the right rate=playing animation
Use the clipping plane to hide the non current frames.

Thank you BlueprintRandom ,I will give it a try and see if it works.
@hey BluePrintRandom ,im not enterly sure if that method would work when I control an actual 2d character ( for a 2d side scroller game like old mario),so far Im able to easily make simple enemies animate using frames to change the texture.
example.

What Im trying to figure out is if this method is efficient and will it consume lots of memory ?also i’m slightly stuck on how to actually control a character that will change texture when a key is pressed .
Use state = animation
Frame # --------and------replace mesh
Like
State = walk
If frame is 1 -----and-----replace mesh walk frame 1
Next you need logic that cycels from zero, to end frame and back to zero when animating*
Oh so I just need state and properties to keep in check what animation the character should play .
Will do a quick sprite to test it out .
Thanks again
