Animated texture on particle2D? Probably not, but checking in anyway

0 votes

Hi all, I was checking here: http://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/2d/particle_systems_2d.html

It says it's not available yet (animated textures on particles).

Has anyone worked out a simple enough work around for this? I'd love to have some pixel art luscious styled animated smoke pouring from my particle system....

The doc screenshot is outdated, probably the parameters H Frames and V Frames is what you are looking for. Not sure at which rate frames get picked but it certainly look like a spritesheet-based animation parameter.

Edit: I just gave it a try and that's what I thought. Make your animation as a spritesheet (just a texture, no need for a special node), then set how many frames it has horizontally and vertically. Particles will play each frame one after another during their lifetime, until the end.
