I've noticed several games that used 'Sprites', But I've never seen how to use em'
If you don't know what sprites are, they are several GUI Pictures on one decal, but can be used as one of the pictures separately. |

Are you talking about sprite sheets?
They can be done by writing some code that basically divides up an image into tons of tiny little squares. Then, you can use that image in the square to do what you want. I don't see the use of it on Roblox though, because there isn't really a limit on the number of images you can upload to the site.
FYI
I didn't know developers used this on Roblox. I used it predominantly on Java because spritesheets cut down on making giant asset folders. I loved to use the IO Stream extention library in java to build great little games that pulled images from spritesheets. It really was fun, I had to build a multidimensional array and pull the image into the game. To prevent stuttering, I had to use double buffering and some slick implementations to make the sprites load before humans noticed. While this all sounds exciting and whatnot, It was because using spritesheets made Java programs more efficient and didnt occupy as much space.

@solar
I'm pretty sure he's talking about games such as Super Mario RPG that use sprites, not sprite sheets themselves |

| I'd imagine you can just make sprites by uploading transparent PNGs. Not sure what Build is specifically refering too... |

Well to use a sprite sheet you need a photo editing program like paint.net and crop the sprite you want and upload it to roblox If nessasary upload all of them now go into studio and get a make your own paper morph thing and do the stuff in the script and then your done A.k.a animated morph and if you want to go one extra step further add a gui at the side so when you click on one of the sprites for example mario angry it will turn your character into angry mario. |
