What is box mode???

[brawler12345]

what is box mode in the animation editor?
also as a side note, is there anyway to select like 5 frames of a sprite sheet and import them and it automatically breaks them apart into the animation?
please help

for the second question, no.

but u can just import the picture, copy that frame that has the picture in it 5 times, and then on each time, change the frame of the animation sequence.

For the second question, yes. Use box mode.

Just type "box mode" in help, and it'll be under "Picture Editor". More info in Raylax's article.

Edit: for some reason the linking doesn't work, anyway go to the articles section and find "Mini Article - Using the Mysterious Box Mode".

lol wow, i never knew that.

i guess you do learn something everyday

My only gripe is that you can't tell it to load only certain frames (or maybe you can somehow?) so basically this means you have to cut and prepare every animation separately which is in some cases lots of extra work.

There's a really helpful article in the article section of the forums.
