Could the guys at godot please find a way to duplicate sprites/animated sprites?

+1 vote

I know that you can duplicate sprites and animated sprites, but when you edit the duplicated sprite then it edits BOTH sprites. This is quite time consuming, as I have just created new races for my rpg and I have to create the animations from scratch.

An idea I have for this would be if you duplicate it, you could have the option to edit them separately or together.

When you duplicate a Node, value passed information are copied, and reference passed ones are "linked". To unlink the texture, simply set the texture property (on the right side) to a new texture object, and then change the associated image. For the script, clear the script and set a new one.

If you want to create many independent custom Nodes in the editor, you can put a class_name Ork in the script of your Node to have it appear in the Node selection when adding them.

Godot is a collaborative project run by volunteers, by asking questions here (creating a form of documentation), you become one of the "Guys at Godot".
